A&M Fun Fact
I'm currently reading a book about the space race. The term "moonshot" came about in 1959 when LA Dodgers slugger Wally Moon was crushing multiple home runs that season. Dodgers announcer Vin Scully coined the phrase moonshot to refer to the runs. The phrase was later picked up by NASA to refer to the moon missions. Anyway, Wally Moon played baseball at A&M in the early '50s. He would eventually move back to Bryan where he died in 2018.
