Buford Leads Carolina League With Batting Heroics And Odd Sock Habit
Damon Buford of the Keys dominates the Carolina League with a .386 average and a later .395 week, despite a toe injury. A switch hitter praised by his father Don Buford, Buford runs from home to first in 3.8 seconds and has two homers. He recalls a USC sophomore sock incident that sparked a 15 game hitting streak, while his athletic lineage includes a former Orioles star father and a baseball-involved family.
