Veteran reliever Javier Lopez played at the University of Virginia before beginning a pro career that includes helping Boston and San Francisco win the World Series.
Javier Lopez, a product of Fairfax Little League, sat in the third-base dugout of the San Francisco Giants at Nationals Park before Tuesday's game against Washington. He looked out at the field during batting practice and envisioned more than just a three-game series between first-place teams in the National League. "My friends have told me this could be the (preview of) the National League Championship Series. That would be nice," Lopez, a 1995 graduate of Robinson Secondary, said with a smile.

Former Burke resident Paul Clemens was recently
named the No. 5 prospect in the farm system of the Houston Astros.
The Major League dreams of Robinson Secondary School graduate Paul Clemens could become reality in 2012.

At the time the 6-foot-4 Clemens was pitching at the Class AA level with Mississippi in the Southern League, where he was 6-5 with an ERA of 3.73 in 20 starts.
