Biography
Bunker pitched for the Capuchino High School varsity baseball team in San Bruno, California in 1962 and 1963, as the team won the Mid-Peninsula League championships. He also played on the varsity basketball team. The Baltimore Orioles had ranked him and Dave Boswell as the two best pitching prospects in the country. Not able to afford giving each of them huge bonuses, the ballclub only signed Bunker after being disappointed by Boswell's performance in his senior year of high school.
