High school baseball standout Nolan Jones sat with family, friends and coaches inside the Irish Rover Station House Friday as he learned he was being drafted by the Cleveland Indians organization.
As the announcer on the TVs in the bar stated Jones was selected by the Indians, the bar erupted into cheers and Jones’ face lit up. The 18-year-old, an Holy Ghost Prep shortstop, is the brother of NHL prospect Peyton.

“It was indescribable, honestly,” Jones told PhillyVoice.com. “I had to wait all night, but that made [hearing my name called] even better.”
