Tom played for the Waterloo Bucks during the 2007 season.&nbsp; He was born in Montreal,&nbsp;Quebec and played for Notre Dame High&nbsp;School in Burlington,&nbsp;Ontario. After high school, he went to play at High&nbsp;Point University in North Carolina.&nbsp; Tom is a 6&#8217;0&quot; 190lb reliever who throws right handed.<\/p>\n<p><img height=\\\"120\\\" width=\\\"200\\\" align=\\\"left\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" src=\\\"http:\/\/www.waterloobucks.com\/uploads\/news\/cbabdbc662600ecef433e4b844329c08.JPG\\\" \/>Tom had only pitched one season for the&nbsp;Waterloo&nbsp;Bucks, but had some strong stats while suiting up in the blue and gold.&nbsp; As a Buck, Tom had a 1-1 record with 8 saves, a 1.95 ERA, 14 walks, 42 strike outs, in 21 games and 27.2 innings pitched.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>After playing for the Bucks, Tom was drafted by the Pittsburgh&nbsp;Pirates in the 2007 Amateur Draft (35th round, #1054th overall).&nbsp; Since being drafted by the Pirates, Tom has made it into the AA two times in his career. In May of 2011, the Pirates released Tom in favor of another pitcher after having a slow start.<\/p>\n<p>In the minors, Tom has had consistently good numbers.&nbsp; Overall, his record was 9-9 with 12 saves, a 2.73 ERA, 48 walks, and 154 strike outs in 103 games and 191 innings.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Tom Boleska will always be remembered as a Waterloo Buck and we wish him the best on his future endeavors.&nbsp; It will be intriguing to see if anyone picks him up this upcoming 2012 season.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\\\"font-size: smaller\\\"><span style=\\\"color: rgb(34,34,34); line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left\\\"><font style=\\\"font-family: Verdana\\\"><font color=\\\"#000000\\\"><font color=\\\"#000000\\\"><span class=\\\"yui_3_2_0_64_1320860132494102\\\">Catching Up with the Bucks&quot; is presented by Hibachi &amp; Sushi Buffet.&nbsp; Located at 1535 Flammang Drive in Waterloo, stop by today for lunch or dinner.&nbsp; Bringing&nbsp;<\/span>you the freshest, finest quality traditional Japanese Hibachi, Japanese Sushi, and Asian dishes at prices you can afford to enjoy often.<span class=\\\"yui_3_2_0_64_1320860132494104\\\">&nbsp; Check&nbsp;<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><span style=\\\"font-size: 11px; color: rgb(34,34,34); line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left\\\"><span style=\\\"font-family: Verdana\\\"><font size=\\\"+0\\\"><font color=\\\"#000000\\\"><font color=\\\"#000000\\\"><span class=\\\"yui_3_2_0_64_1320860132494104\\\"><a target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow\\\" style=\\\"cursor: text! important; color: blue! important\\\" href=\\\"http:\/\/waterloobucks.com\/\\\"><span style=\\\"font-size: smaller\\\"><span style=\\\"font-family: Arial\\\">waterloobucks.com<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><span style=\\\"font-size: smaller\\\"><span style=\\\"color: rgb(34,34,34); line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left\\\"><font color=\\\"#000000\\\"><font color=\\\"#000000\\\"><span class=\\\"yui_3_2_0_64_1320860132494104\\\"><font color=\\\"#222222\\\">&nbsp;every Wednesday for &ldquo;Catching Up with&nbsp;the Bucks&quot; powered by Hibachi &amp; Sushi Buffet.[<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><span style=\\\"font-size: 11px; color: rgb(34,34,34); line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left\\\"><span style=\\\"color: rgb(2,83,131)\\\"><font color=\\\"#025383\\\"><a style=\\\"font-size: smaller; color: rgb(2,83,131)\\\" href=\\\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Hibachi-Sushi-Buffet\/121481424574892\\\"><span style=\\\"font-size: smaller\\\"><span style=\\\"font-family: Arial\\\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Hibachi-Sushi-Buffet\/121481424574892<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/font><\/span><\/span><span style=\\\"font-size: smaller\\\"><span style=\\\"color: rgb(34,34,34); line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left\\\"><span style=\\\"color: rgb(2,83,131)\\\"><font color=\\\"#025383\\\">]<\/font><\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we are catching up with former Buck Tom&nbsp;Boleska.
