Draft
Brusstar, who batted and threw right-handed, was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 1970 in the 27th round (635th overall). He chose not to sign. In 1971, he was drafted by the Giants again, this time in the 6th round (114th overall). Again, the 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m), 200 pound Brusstar did not sign. He'd have to wait until 1973 to be drafted again, this time by the New York Mets in the 33rd round (684th). Not surprisingly, he didn't sign. In 1974, the Phillies were able to get him to sign after drafting him in the 4th round (67th).

Famous quotes containing the word draft:
“It is crystal clear to me that if Arabs put down a draft resolution blaming Israel for the recent earthquake in Iran it would probably have a majority, the U.S. would veto it and Britain and France would abstain.”
—Amos Oz (b. 1939)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“News is the first rough draft of history.”
—Philip L. Graham (1915–1963)
