With a verbal commitment to play baseball at the University of Minnesota already established, Justin Gominsky received a phone call from head coach John Anderson before his senior year of high school.
Anderson alerted Gominsky that his current GPA was not up to par with University standards, and he would have to improve it to gain acceptance.
For a guy who put baseball over everything, the academic challenge was tough. However, Gominsky got his grades up and attended Minnesota — a move that ultimately changed his life.
