Consolo was a two-time LA City High School Player of the Year while starring at Dorsey High, where he played alongside Sparky Anderson. Consolo worked alongside Anderson in Detroit for several seasons as a coach. Only two others have been named the top high school player in L.A. in consecutive seasons: Randy Wolf in 1993-94 and Mike Moustakas in 2006-07.
I have a bat. Billy and George (Sparky) and other great kids, names engraved in gold. Junior World Series champs, 1951 American Legion Post 715 (Los Angeles). Dad (Doc Murphy) was post commander. Trivia question: Who was manager of that team? Hint: He was an out-of-work insurance salesman who later was elected to Congress.
