tournament out of 24 teams. “I only played<br />

roller hockey in high school, but I was always<br />

very proud of <strong>Molloy</strong>’s reputation in athletics,”<br />

said Anthony. The Kings went 3-2 during the<br />

tournament, placing 8th in the nation. “Not<br />

bad for a Long Island team that has never been<br />

ranked in the top 25. I am proud to continue<br />

the Stanner tradition of excellence in whatever<br />

I undertake. My education at <strong>Molloy</strong> and the<br />

emphasis on faith gave me the strength to deal<br />

with adversity in my life.”<br />

Mike Baxter’s recent success with the New<br />

York Mets organization has been unlike anything<br />

we have seen from a Stanner at the major<br />

league level in recent memory. Mike made<br />

history in 2012, providing a stunning catch<br />

at the left field wall at Citi Field that helped<br />

secure the Mets’ first no-hitter. In the process,<br />

Mike also separated his shoulder by crashing<br />

into the wall, landing him on the disabled list<br />

for much of the summer. Running through<br />

that wall for his teammates proved that Mike<br />

is truly a “team player.” Mike often says that<br />

while the catch did not necessarily change his<br />

life, it is definitely a highlight in his career and<br />

something he will never forget.<br />

Oswald Egas is proud to say he has 3 future<br />

Stanners in his family! Eldest Tatiana is 8 years<br />

old, while son Christopher is 5 and youngest<br />

daughter Elizabeth is 3. “I cannot believe it<br />

has been 11 years since I graduated from<br />

<strong>Molloy</strong>,” says Oswald. “I have fond memories<br />

of everyone there. I am looking forward to<br />

reliving those years soon when my children<br />

attend the school!” Oswald keeps in touch<br />

with many of his classmates, and sends shout<br />

outs to Danny Espaillat, JP Cordero, Raphael<br />

Kumar, David Borden, and Dan Charvet from<br />

the Class of 2002 and Chris Kaps ‘03.<br />
