Kyle Money graduated from W.W. Samuell High School in 1979 where he starred in Football, Basketball and Baseball.
Kyle signed a football scholarship with Baylor University as a quarterback but decided to play professional baseball instead
when the Philadelphia Phillies made him their #1 draft pick in the Major League Baseball Draft in June of 1979. He went
on to play parts of 9 seasons with the Phillies, Pirates and Texas Rangers organizations as a pitcher.
After an arm injury, Kyle turned down a pitching coach position with the Phillies and settled in Mesquite with his wife
Angie. Together they have 4 children; 3 girls and 1 boy. Currently they reside in Sunnyvale. Brewer plays
in the Sports organization.
Kyle has maintained his relationship with the Phillies. He currently is an associate scout for the National League
team. "Talent is abundant in Texas, and I want to help kids get a look if I can."
Kyle wants to share the experiences and knowledge that he gained in the pro's with younger kids. He believes that
proper fundamentals and hard work can give players confidence and the opportunity to play in college and/or professionally.
"I remember when I was 16 and playing in the Mickey Mantle World Series. We played against a team from Putty Hill,
Maryland. There was a guy on that team named Cal Ripken." No one knew him then, but later he became known as Hall
of Famer, "Cal Ripken, Jr."
"I honestly don't remember him. He was just an average player I guess and really did not stand out." My point
is, that could be anyone. That could be any of our organizational guys. You never know who is going to rise up
and be the star.
Keep working hard and getting better.
Always believe in yourself. Baseball is a funny game and you have to keep an even disposition. Never get
too high when you do well, and never get too low when you fail. Things can change the next day.
For the love of the game,
Kyle Money
