Darryl Brinkley age[edit]

I played high school baseball with Darryl Brinkley at Stamford High (CT). He was a tremendous athlete — star on the basketball team as well. He actually didn’t come out for baseball until his senior year and he dominated. He was NOT born in 1968. He graduated high school in 1983 , and he was not the kind of scholar who would graduate high school at 15. I followed some of his minor league career in baseball magazines— and knew way back in the 90s that he had shaved a few years off his age to have a better shot. I figure now he wouldn’t mind me exposing him since he is well beyond playing age (he’s at least 53 — probably 54). Jjsbluessaloon (talk) 09:27, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
