J.B. White

This prep hoops standout received a lot of offers but committed to New Mexico in 2019. It was said to be a “massive pickup” for the Mountain West university. J.B. White was known as a four-star recruit from Santa Fe High School in the area. Sadly, he did not get to train with the Lobos since he was killed on August 1. This was a tragic and frustrating story, especially since he was only 18 years old back then.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said that Lou Brock managed to run away with Cardinals fans’ hearts in the same way he ran from one base to another. He racked up 900 stolen bases and 3,000 hits during the 19 years he spent in the MLB. This Baseball Hall of Famer met his end in September. He was 81 at the time. His legacy has been immortalized by the statue in his likeness outside Busch Stadium.
