During Harold Lasenby’s high school days, he became well acquainted with an aging, eight-floor building — affectionately known to many as the “pickle factory” — which housed Cass Technical High School.
And when the 1985 graduate was not in the classroom, Lasenby usually was flashing his skills with a bat and glove as a member of the Cass Tech varsity baseball team.
Like Lasenby, Nigel Baker is proud to rock the Technicians’ green and white. However, when in-person classes are in session, Baker, a 16-year-old junior, gets to walk the halls of a seven-story, modern structure of glass, steel and brick that opened in 2005 at the corner of Henry and Second Avenue, where the old pickle factory once stood. Baker, too, is a student-athlete at Cass, but soccer — not baseball — is his sport of choice.
