That's right! After 20 years, Mike Bordick has graduated from the University of Maine!
Congratulations, Bordy! :cheer: :jump:
Check it out - from The Washington Post:
THE GRADUATE: Former Orioles shortstop Mike Bordick, who still holds the all-time record of 110 consecutive errorless games by a shortstop, last month earned his degree from the University of Maine -- 20 years after he left the school after his junior year to play professionally.
"It only took me 20 years to graduate," said Bordick, who retired after the 2003 season. "But it was worth it."
Although Bordick took his remaining classes online, he and his family -- wife Monica and their five kids -- traveled to Bordick's home state so he could march in the graduation ceremony.
