Reading, Pa. (June 18, 2008) - Former Alvernia College catcher
Anthony Recker continues to impress at every level. The two-time Pennsylvania Athletic Conference player of the year will make his third straight All-Star appearance this summer representing the Midland RockHounds in the 2008 Texas League All-Star game next Wednesday in Springfield, Missouri.
In 2006 Recker, an 18th round selection of the Oakland A's in the 2005 amateur draft, played in the MidWest All-Star game as a member of the Kane County Cougars, and represented the Stockton Ports of the California League in 2007 against the best from the Carolina League.
Through Tuesday Recker is second on the RockHounds team in batting at .297 with 17 doubles, six home runs, 40 RBIs, and 30 runs scored.
