Tim Pletkovich has a story to tell!
The Geneseo native will share about his life as a scout and what it was like working for the Chicago Cubs organization in the 1980’s at 2 p.m. on Monday, October 27th at the Geneseo Public Library.
At the age of 14, Pletkovich was evaluating amateur free agent players for the Philadelphia Phillies. By the time he was 21, he had joined the Chicago Cubs, having become the nation’s youngest scout on the payroll of a major league team, - a dream come true for the Geneseo native.
Pletkovich, the son of John and Shirley Pletkovich, graduated from J.D. Darnall High School (now Geneseo High School) in 1978.
