Can anyone ID this player or provide any info? Did he get a fastball to the face like Brodie or a linedrive like Macie or something else? I found it on another site and they said it was from the 1984 season.
Anyone know who this is?

UniWatch did something on facemasks in non-facemask sports awhile back. They would have loved this.
No, I don't know who it is.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and go with Rob Swain? I think he played SS and had a broken jaw sometime during his career at TAMU. Not all that confident with that guess though...you know the years have taken a toll on the memory...
Wow, Leo's looking svelte....
Cool shot!
I think if you zoom in on one of the eyes of a guy in the dugout, you might be able to see them looking at the player's number on his back. Hey... it works on TV!

I was going to guess Rob Swain, too. Yes, he played shortstop, and if I remember correctly he was number 9.
Someone who remembers, is that Beje Mahoe (44)?

ENHANCE!

That's actually where I got it. I just wanted to see if I could find out anything more.
It is Rob Swain! He apparently took his facemask equipted A&M helmet with up to Alaska to play for the North Pole Nicks.
IIRC, it was a line drive rather than a fastball. Broke his jaw. He ate through a straw for weeks but I don't think he missed a game. He was a tough SOB. Good ballplayer.
Hey, That's ME--Robb Swain #9! Funny stuff. I was hit during the Baylor Series, broke my jaw on Friday,played the weekend series and had surgery on Tuesday--tried to play Tuesday night against Sam Houston but Radar wouldn't let me. Had mouth wired shut for six weeks. Got wires removed just before heading to Alaska to play for North Pole Nicks...had to take helmet with me. WHOOP!
pg 1, that's awesome stuff

How long do you want to ignore this user?
We need another team full of 'staches like that. Is that Este Uriegas's dad wearing 44?
Thanks for posting, Robb.
Thanks Robb
Yes That's Beje Mahoe. I think he is back in Hawaii working as a fireman...not sure if in Hawaii you can wear flip flops to fight fires in but if you can he will be! Jerry Schneipp #25 (My Roomy that year!); Chris "Hutch" Hutchinson (sp?)#21; Kelly Keahy humping it under Leo; Shawn Chourby in the on-deck circle #16. Ag! Ag!
Hey, bruddah! Yeah I remember those names but couldn't have called them from the pic. Huchingson's mom was my teacher in fifth grade. Brings back some good memories. I was a kid when this pic was taken. Made most of the games with my dad, who is gone now.
This would also have been around the time Aggie baseball started to become a spectator sport. It was fairly soon after Chandler retired and Johnson arrived. Note the TAM on the caps. Chandler's teams wore only the block T.
Yes...One of my other roommate in Aggieland, his Dad played for the '51 Ags...loved the block "T" hats...thinks the Ags should do a few throw back game days...would go over very big I think....Indeed, I had the pleasure of playing for Both...I think for me playing at Olsen was Top Notch! Wanted to play as hard as I could every game...especially knowing I represented Ags everywhere and all the Great Traditions. It was certainly a special time and the fans made it.
Or was it that?
It could have been that you had to get a root canal because you got "deaked" and was hit in the mouth with a round glass object.
Yes. My money's on that.
More importantly, were you SAFE? Looks to me like you are going to be tagged OUT! 
were the longhorns the opponent in the photo?
Seeing as how the fans are standing up that may have been a game-tying/game-winning situation right there

Very cool. Do you ever make it back for ballgames?
If the opponent was indeed the horns, and dave yeast had anything to do with it, he would have been called out no matter what.
checked the media guide...the series vs. the horns was in Austin in 1984. The only home series that season after the Baylor series (in Waco) was against Rice
I think I was rung up? Doesn't look good anyhow...Anyway if the ump was not Bible I had a good chance to be safe, biggest tu homer I have ever seen!...Could be the Owls we were playing...We played TCU, Rice, Tech, Houston, at home but I think we played Rice after Baylor tht year...
Is that Hoot Gibson standing there in street clothes
I don't have a media guide with a schedule but judging by the clothes of the people in the stands, I'm guessing it wasn't a home series in February.
I am sure that is Leo...Don't see anyone else in street clothes in the pic...
looks like the guy standing on the dugout is ringing you up
That's Leo.
