11998899 Roberto Coquis ’89 and Steve Bigelow ’89 were both featured on Fox TV, October 2, 2009. A most unlikely coincidence brought two PCS Class of ’89 alumni together on the Fort Wayne, Indiana Fox network news. Roberto, his wife, Judy, and daughter, Sofia, received lots of media attention during their “30 Ballparks and a Baby MLB Ballpark Tour.” Roberto explained, “Our final press interview was with Fox on October 2, 2009, and the story was broadcast nationally that night. Well, my good friend, Steve Bigelow, is from Fort Wayne, Indiana and he happened to be interviewed by the Fort Wayne Fox network to discuss his Olympic experience as a member of the 1988 United States Olympic Team and to get his thoughts on Rio Winning the bid to host the 2016 games. Both interviews were on Fox, on the same day. What a coincidence!”
