DB/K/QB | ^Not to be confused with Raymond Stanley Borowicz Jr., Huntingdon HS Class of 1968, Suffolk County, Long Island, N.Y. who played baseball at Ithaca College. Ithaca’s Ray Borowicz (SS/3B/2B, 6’1″ 175, B:S, T:R) was drafted in 1971 by Cincinnati Reds, 1st Rd., 6th overall & played 3 seasons of minor league baseball in the Reds chain. Baseball-Reference.com has “N.Y. Ray” transferring from Ithaca College to the U, but it’s believed this is incorrect (although “Cali Ray” Borowicz was a ‘Cane 2B in this same timeframe). This namesake’s Dad, Raymond Stanley Borowicz Sr., known as “Skip,” also played minor league baseball (from 1941-43), and coached with the Cleveland Indians and at the Univ. of Buffalo. |
