Oscar Arguella was not much of a baseball player, and the talent he did have was wasted.  He was given another chance by his then Manager, Al Luongo, to become a Scout and through hard work and introspection he worked his way up to General Managers position of the San Diego Padres, a team in which Luongo still Manages.  (How long has he Luongo been with San Diego?)

Hollywood super agent, Amelia Slater left Tinseltown behind on the belief that she could strike gold with the woman who would become the first of her gender to make the Majors. 

From his days as Kevin Arnold’s father, Al Luongo clearly learned a little more compassion in his paternal responsibilities.
