Connection to Rockville: From the Lincoln Park community in Rockville
Keith Gordon, simply put, is one of the greatest ballplayers to come from the City of Rockville. Technically born in Bethesda at Suburban Hospital, Lincoln Park in Rockville was his first home. Keith started his career in RBBA playing for The Enclosures, coached by Ron Goodin, winning four championships in a row in the Pee Wee and Midget Divisions. One of his teammates was fellow inductee, Farron Riggs. He then starred for Walter Johnson High School, an early connection to one of the greatest pitchers in baseball and now one of his fellow inductees.
Keith Gordon now joins his fellow Rockville Baseball greats after being elected in the Class of 2020 on his second year on the ballot and currently puts his baseball knowledge to use as the head baseball coach at the Bullis School in Potomac, MD.
