Who Was Alex Cole?

Alex Cole’s journey in the world of baseball began in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he was born on August 17, 1965. After his high school days, he enrolled at the State College of Florida to continue honing his skills. In the 1984 draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates showed interest in him and picked him in the 11th round, but he decided not to sign with them.

The following year, in 1985, the St. Louis Cardinals chose him in the second round, and this time he eagerly joined their ranks. Within the Cardinals’ minor league system, Cole worked hard and progressed through the different levels of play.

However, his journey took a turn in 1990 when he was traded not once, but twice. First, he was traded to the San Diego Padres, and shortly thereafter, he found himself as a part of the Cleveland Indians. These trades marked pivotal moments in his career, shaping his path in the world of baseball.
