Prior to the 1977 season, the league champion was determined by a playoff system. From 1977 to 1983
the champion was determined by the best won-lost record in a round robin league set-up. Beginning in
1984, the league was divided into North and South Divisions with champions in each.
In 1997, the league was divided into North, Central and South Divisions with champions in each.
In 2006, a Blue / White division format will be introduced. The Blue will consist of the top winning %
teams (Brother Rice, De La Salle, Fenwick, Loyola, Mount Carmel, Providence, St. Ignatius, St. Rita).
You play everyone twice with four cross-over games into the White division that do not count
toward your CCL record.

#1. In June, 1969, Pete Mackanin became the first Brother Rice player to be drafted and
signed when he was selected in the 4th round rally by the Washington Senators, now
known as the Texas Rangers. He was brought up to play shortstop during the 1973
season, but was traded to the Montreal Expos for Willie Davis during the winter of 1974-75.
During both the 1975 and 1976 seasons, Pete started at second base for the Expos. In
1977, he became the backup second baseman to Dave Cash and also backup to shortstop
Chris Speier. After playing the 1978 season with the Expos Triple AAA Denver Club,
Pete's contract was bought by the Phillies for whom he became a utility infielder, playing
backup in 1979 to Rose, Trillo, Conception and Schmidt. During the off season, he was
traded to the Minnesota Twins where he played several positions, but mainly second base
and shortstop. In 1982, after being cut by the White Sox (who had signed him as a free
agent), Pete signed with the Texas Rangers' Triple AAA team at Denver. In 1985, Pete
took over the managerial duties for the Cubs' Class A team in Peoria where he managed
for two seasons before becoming the Cubs Director of Player Development. At Peoria, his
team won the Championship in his first season with them. Later, Pete moved up to coach
the Cubs Triple AAA Club in Iowa. The summer of 1991, however, found Pete completing
his second year as manager of the Cincinnati Reds Triple AAA Club in Nashville. In 1993,
Pete managed Baltimore's "A" Club in Fredericksburg, Maryland. In 1995, Pete was
named the Sporting News Minor League Manager of the Year for his accomplishments in
managing Ottawa in the Montreal Expos organization. In 1997, he became the 3rd base
coach for the Montreal Expos. After coaching the Hickory team in North Carolina in the
Pirates organization in 2002, Pete moved back to the major league level. He has served as
the bench coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates (2007), and was named Manager of the
Cincinnati Reds in 2007. Pete serves currently as the bench coach for the Philadelphia
Phillies.
#2. In June, 1978, former Brother Rice catcher, Scott Meyer, was drafted by the Oakland A's
following his junior year at Western Michigan University. Scott played Double AA ball for
Milford, Connecticut for a couple of seasons before his contract was sold to the Baltimore
Orioles. He played for a season in Arizona for one of their farm clubs before being
released. However, in September of 1978 following his rookie season in the minors, Scott
was brought up for the month of September by the Oakland A's for the remainder of the
season. He appeared in several games including about 6 starts. One of those starts was
in Chicago against the White Sox. He caught the entire game, going one for four. That hit
came in his first appearance at the plate when he doubled off the left field wall and
eventually scored. Scott, therefore, is the second former Brother Rice baseball player
(after Pete Mackanin) to play in the major leagues. In 1999, he was working as a fireman
in Phoenix, Arizona.
#3. In June, 1978, former Brother Rice catcher was drafted in the first round of the draft by the
San Francisco Giants. Overall, he was the fifth pick across the entire nation and the very
first of the catchers to be drafted that year. Bob played at Great Falls, Montana; Clinton,
Iowa; Shreveport, Louisiana and Phoenix, Arizona (AAA) before being released in May,
1985. He was then signed by the Seattle Mariners and played at Chattanooga, Tennessee
where he remained until his release at the end of the season. Bob has been scouting for
the Giants since 1990.
#4. In June, 1977, former Brother Rice outfielder Jim Adduci was drafted in the 28th round after
high school, but instead opted to accept a baseball scholarship to Southern Illinois
University where he starred in the outfield for three seasons. Following his junior year, he
was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 7th round. He was brought up for the last
month of the 1983 season after having some very successful seasons with St. Petersburg,
Little Rock and Louisville. He played the 1984 season at both first base and outfield for
Louisville (AAA) again, before being traded in the off season to the Milwaukee Brewers.
While playing for the Brewer's Vancouver AAA Club, Jim was called up several times to
play with the Brewers. After playing in Japan for the next two seasons, Jim was signed by
the Philadelphia Phillies and played for their Scrantron AAA Club. He was called up for
about a month by the Phillies as a replacement for injured John Kruk and hit .267 while
there. Jim retired from playing with Scrantron following the 1990 season. He now serves
as an instructor for Bulls/White Sox training Academy in Lisle and lives in Evergreen Park.
#5. Bob Ritchey scouted for the California Angels organization from 1989 to 1991 and has
since become a world championship kick-boxer.
#6 In June, 1995, pitcher, Christian "C. J. Keating" was drafted in the 53rd round by the Los
Angeles Dodgers, but opted to attend and play ball for Creighton University.
#7 In June, 1997, pitcher/3rd baseman Ryan Quinn was drafted in the 41st round by the San
Diego Padres but opted to attend Lewis University.
#8 In June, 2001, Right Fielder Anthony Albano was drafted in the 20 th round by the Minnesota
Twins but opted to attend the University of Evansville and finish his career at Florida
Atlantic University.
#9 In June, 2012, infielder Mike McQuillan, was drafted in the 33 rd round, by the Washington
Nationals, after a stellar four year career, at the University of Iowa. Mike recently retired
from the Nationals AA organization.

Brother Rice High School opened its doors in September of 1956 and fielded its baseball
team in the spring of 1959. Since then, the program grew quickly into three very competitive and
respected teams that have produced countless memories of great plays, super players,
unforgettable victories and championship teams. This rich and winning baseball tradition could
never have emerged without the special body of players and non-players alike whose
extraordinary achievements either on or off the field have longed for special recognition. It was a
long time dream of varsity assistant Coach Tom Uraski to honor the many contributors to this
success. That dream became a reality on May 18, 1996, when the first groups of honorees were
inducted into the newly created Brother Rice Baseball Hall of Fame. We will continue to add
annually to this prestigious group.
