When Gainesville graduate David Gonzalez got the call from the New York Mets on Wednesday, he was arranging his shoes in his dorm room at the University of Georgia. He had already made the decision to go to college on a full athletic scholarship instead of professional ball, and it had nothing to do with him being a Yankees fan. Gonzalez was drafted in the 40th round of the MLB First Year Player Draft by the Mets with the 1,220th overall pick.
