Rodney Myers, East High School
East High School alumnus Rodney Myers was baseball’s leading hitter in the NIC-10 Conference in 1986 and named All-Conference shortstop in 1987. A three-sport high school athlete, Myers played basketball and football for the E-Rabs - and even started several games at quarterback for the 1985 East High School state championship team. But his baseball success led him to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Myers played center field for two years for the Badgers and was the team’s MVP in 1990 with 12 home runs and a team-leading 32 RBI.
The Rockford Register Star called Myers “one of the most feared hitters the NIC-10 produced,” yet he made his professional living in baseball as a pitcher. The Kansas City Royals drafted Myers in the 12th round in 1990, and he reached the major leagues in 1996 with the Chicago Cubs. Myers ultimately played in nine seasons with the Cubs, San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers. He retired from professional baseball in 2005.
