	Our May speaker was Butte College baseball coach Anthony Ferro.<br>
	Wins are a key part to any head coach’s judgement at any level, but<br>
	for Butte College baseball coach Anthony Ferro, it has always been 
	more.<br><br>
	The game of baseball changed the trajectory of Anthony Ferro’s life
	at an early age, and he knew he wanted to return the favor whenever 
	he could.<br>
	Anthony Ferro, now in his 21st season as head coach with the Roadrunners,
	achieved his 500th win April 20 when the Roadrunners defeated Lassen 15-4.<br>
	Coach Ferro’s baseball journey began in Woodland, where he graduated from
	Woodland High School in 1992.<br>
	He played college baseball at Butte College, and it was there that
	he found his calling for coaching.<br><br>
	He had influences such as Pete Perez in Little League, and Jim Stassi
	in middle school, and Rob Rinaldi in high school.<br>
	“Baseball saved my life, and one of the biggest coaches’ impact was
	Pete Perez,” Coach Ferro said.<br>
	“I was 13 years old because I was going down the wrong path.<br>
	I had two other coaches, Jim Stassi and Rob Renaldi in junior high 
	and high school, and that’s when I started getting on the right path.”<br>
	At the time Coach Ferro never thought he was going to go to college, but
	he ended up going to college to play baseball.<br>
	“While I was here at Butte College, I felt like this was my calling 
	because baseball got me two college degrees, it got me my life, 
	and now I’m just trying to give it back,” Coach Ferro said.
