The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost another legend. One of the greatest broadcasters to ever pick up a microphone is no longer with us. Rest In Peace Vin Scully.

Meeting Gregg Jefferies
Former baseball slugger Gregg Jefferies made a visit to the Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu. Gregg was in town for an eye exam and some other business.
Gregg was drafted by the New York Mets out of High School in the 1985 amateur draft. During his minor league career Gregg was regarded as a top prospect and won the Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year Award in 1986 and 1987. He eventually went on to play for six teams during his big league career which spanned from 1987 to 2000. Many believe Gregg never lived up to the hype as a big leaguer but he did have some good seasons and made two All-Star teams.
What is Gregg up to these days? He is currently living in Las Vegas and works as a hitting instructor.

Meeting Trey Lance
San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance came to the Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu. Trey happened to be in Southern California for some business and decided to stop by.
Trey played his college ball at North Dakota State where he was a standout. He won numerous awards such as the Walter Payton and Jerry Rice Award just to name a few. Though not from a powerhouse school, NFL scouts still took notice of Trey as a top NFL prospect. Trey was considered one of the top quarterbacks in the class and was selected as the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the 49ers.
Trey enjoyed his time at the office and liked the selection of eyewear. As a lifelong 49ers fan, it was a pleasure to meet him. I wish the young talented kid the best playing in the NFL.

Meeting Brian Cook
I made another visit to the Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu. The visit consisted of meeting former Los Angeles Laker Brian Cook.
Brian played his college ball at Illinois where he was a standout his senior year. He earned the honor of being named the Big Ten Conference Player of the Year in 2003. The Los Angeles Lakers took notice and selected Brian as the 24th overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. Brian spent several seasons playing in LA both as a Los Angeles Laker and Clipper.
