Chris Stewart (2001)
C, New York Yankees
2001 PIL and Knights MVP
Riverside CC

"I don't believe I would have gotten offered this much money (from the White Sox) if it weren't for the coaching staff of the Knights. Thank you for the summer of a lifetime."


Bud Norris (2005)
RHP, Houston Astros
2006 All-WCL
Cal Poly

"The summer I spent with the Knights is one I'll never forget. The coaches and players all worked hard and it paid off. I can honestly say that I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't learn as much as I did with the Knights."

"So, so proud of everything Bud has accomplished. He is an incredible young man. I will never forget him letting my (then 12-year old) son hang out with him before and after Knights games back in 2005. How guys treat little kids is a huge reflection of character." - Knights fan Lee Bellamy
