All Star Baseball Academy
All Star Baseball Academy has re-opened its doors to a new training facility in Downingtown.
Former major leaguer Creighton Gubanich, a 1990 graduate of Phoenixville Area High School, will serve as director of the operation.
Gubanich, a catcher who was drafted out of high school by the Oakland Athletics, played professional baseball for 13 years, including a short stint with the American League's Boston Red Sox.
Gubanich turned down a scholarship to attend Texas A&M Univeraity for college and chose to enter the professional ranks instead. Gubanich is currently an assistant coach at Downingtown East High School in Lionville.
Gubanich, the son of Larry and Sharon Gubanich, played baseball at Phoenixville under coach John "Doc" Kennedy, who guided the Phantoms in high school and American Legion baseball before retiring to enter the Division I collegiate ranks as an assistant coach at Villanova University.
Creighton also starred in football for the Phantoms under head coach Bill Shirk. His defensive coach was longtime mentor Lonny Moore.
Former Philadelphia Phillies manager Nick Leyva has joined Gubanich's staff in Downingtown.
