Tad Gold is similar to my previous subjects in that he grew up on Cape Cod, but more specifically, he grew up on Martha's Vineyard. The Vineyard is a secluded place, seeing as it is an island, and it is ridiculous to expect college scouts to take the ferry down to the Vineyard. As with a lot of other elite Cape Cod baseball prospects and consequently Massachusetts as well, Gold played hockey, too.
What is so interesting about this begins when Tad Gold left the Vineyard for Division Three Endicott College and began his career at the next level. With no idea of his apparent talents, Tad went off to school and proceeded to bat .429, a remarkable statistic, and win the Division Three Player of the Year Award, a remarkable feat for a New England baseball player and a testament to all of Gold's hard work. His senior season garnered enough positive attention to be drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 35th round, the 14th Division Three ballplayer to go in the 2014 draft.
It is quite special when a small community of people rally around their hero, and Tad is lucky enough to have this and the island of Martha's Vineyard.
