For Notre Dame (graduating) senior baseball player Brian Dupra '11 -- the third time was the charm!
As a high school senior the right handed hurler was drafted in the 36th round by the Texas Rangers back in 2007. He turned that down to play baseball at the University of Notre Dame. Three years later in the 2010 MLB Draft the Detroit Tigers drafted him in the 11th round -- he turned the Tigers down to come back to ND for his senior season and to get his degree. You don't see that every day!!!
Well, this afternoon the Irish alum was drafted in the seventh round by the Washington Nationals. Congratulations Brian! Here's a few of the stories:
