Francisco Lindor NY Mets gives a scholarship every year in honor of his time at the academy.
Agree ! And, so many similar "hidden gems" in Florida. I know many residents visit Disney World, Cape Canaveral, Universal, and such, a few even venture out of the V's enough to discover the fabulous state parks and amazing "back in time" little towns like the setting for the world famous book The Yearling. Endless places to explore here, once you've done the most obvious attractions. Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, so many others in our beautiful state, and so many live so close and never see them ! Has anyone take the ferry to Caladesi Island state park ?
