Just call him the playmaker. As the only starting freshman on the Harvard men’s volleyball team, right side hitter Gil Weintraub is already carving himself a powerful position on the Crimson.Filling in as the backup setter for captain Dave Fitz, Weintraub plays a unique role on the team, switching between hitting and setting positions.“It’s definitely a totally different mentality going from hitting to setting,” Weintraub said. “Hitting, you go up hit as hard as you can, and so it’s a single...
...men’s volleyball team hit a groove and coasted to a 3-0 (34-32, 30-15, 30-17) sweep of non-conference foe Endicott (5-4) for its first victory of the season last night at the Malkin Athletic Center.

And since more than 100 players tested positive for steroids in 2003 (when they were told they'd be tested), we know that if he did juice, he was the best steroided hitter in a vast field of steroided hitters. So even if he wouldn't have beaten Maris or Ruth for home runs in a single season, he was the best home run hitter of his era.
