Ron Isler was a three-sport star at New Dorp High School when he was struck and critically injured by a hit-and-run driver after a basketball game. He came back to hit .496 and .390 on the diamond, score four touchdowns in a game, and be named a Teen Magazine All-American.
Recruited to play football at the University of Iowa, Isler wound up a three-year starter on the baseball team, an All-Big 10 shortstop and Academic All-American who hit .304 and .310 as a junior and senior, and served as team captain.
