CDT: Wine, Scirrotto selected on Day 3

By Guy Cipriano – gciprian@centredaily.com

Cory Wine will become a third-generation professional baseball player this month. Anthony Scirrotto is trying to become a safety for the Carolina Panthers.

On Thursday, the former Penn State athletes shared something in common.

The Philadelphia Phillies selected Wine in the 38th round while the Kansas City Royals picked Scirrotto in the 50th round during the final day of the Major League Baseball Draft.

Wine spent four years playing first base for his father Robbie’s baseball team. Scirrotto started 38 games at safety over three years for Joe Paterno’s football team.

Wine, the grandson of former Philadelphia Phillies shortstop and coach Bobby Wine, will likely report to Williamsport next week to begin his professional career with the New York-Penn League’s Crosscutters
