Versatility in the field and
power at the plate are two
ingredients that make former
Bethpage High School baseball
star one of the top returning
players of the Long Island
Nationals of the Atlantic
Collegiate Baseball League.
The Nationals open their
season on Tuesday, June 3. at
7:45 p.m. at Baldwin Park and
the hard-hitting Plainview
resident is expected to be the
starting right fielder. Last
summer, Greenstein played a
major role in the team's pennant
winning performance and his
presence on the roster this season
is a big plus.
Greenstein led the club with 24
runs batted in, was second in
home runs with three, and also
runner up with three triples. His
modest .239 batting average was
not indicative of his contribution
to the team.
"Stu drove in a lot of vital runs
and his versatility in the field was
a key to our success," said
General Manager Frank Bar-ning.
"He played primarily in the
outfield, but he filled in ad­mirably
at third base and first
base when needed."
The Atlantic Collegiate
Baseball League is funded by
Major League Baseball and the
Nationals are also aided finan­cially
by Manufacturers Hanover
Trust. Major League Baseball is
financially involved because the
ACBL supplements minor league
baseball by giving top college
players the change to play
summer ball under ideal con­ditions
on a high-level of com­petition.
Ninety former ACBL
players have signed pro con­tracts
and Greenstein has that as
a personal goal
The ACBL has teams in Penn­sylvania,
New Jersey and New
York.
Greenstein recently completed
his junior year at C. W. Post
College where in the past two
seasons he has led the club to a
record of 41 victories and only 19
losses. The Pioneers won the Met
Conference title in 1974 and lost in
a playoff this past season.
As a sophomore, Greenstein set
school records with eight homers
and 37 RBIs in 30 games. The
marks were held by former big
leaguer Richie Scheinblum who
now plays in Japan. Greenstein
was all-Met in 1974.
At C. W. Post this spring, his
batting production dropped off
from a .339 average to .264. "Stu
put too much pressure on him­self,"
said coach Paul Fer-nandes.
"He wanted to have the
same type year as in 1974, but he
got off to a slow start. We play a
short season and it's hard to
catch up."
Despite a hitting decline, he.
still drove in many timely runs
and his play at third base was
outstanding. "He didn't let his
batting problems affect his
fielding," commented coach
Fernandes. "Stu's a major
reason why C.W. Post has been so
successful and we are looking
forward to seeing him play with
the Nationals this summer."
At Bethpage High, Greenstein
was the all-Nassau County
shortstop and this season his
brother Larry is bidding for the
same honors as a pitcher-outfielder
for coach Jim
Harrington's club.
"Larry also has pro baseball
aspirations," said Barning, "but
if he chooses to play college ball
first we would love to have him
join the Nationals when he
becomes eligible in 1976. Un­fortunately,
Stu will have
graduated from C. W. Post by
then, so we'll never see Stu and
Larry playing together."
Another local former high

High School baseball star returns

Nationals.
school star who will play with the
Long Island Nationals this
summer is Steve Tipa who made
all-Nassau County last year while
starring for Plainview High. Tip
had an outstanding season
playing varsity baseball at New
Haven College and at last report
was blasting the ball at a .400 clip
while turning in a solid job in the
outfield.
We hope to get a lot of fan
support from Bethpage and
Plainview because of Stu
Greenstein and Steve Tipa," said
Barning. "They could very well
be playing along side of each other
in the outfield."
Greenstein is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Martin Greenstein of 89
Debora Drive, and Tipa is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen J. Tipa
of 33 New Castle Avenue. Both
families live in Plainview.
