When I was at A&M and going to baseball games at Olsen in the late 90s, there was a guy that was kinda the de facto leader of the student section hecklers. Seems like he was known as "_______ the heckler". Anyone remember that guy and/or his name?
he's probably still there leading the "student" sectiononeoutofmany said:

Could you be talking about George? This was before Raggies was used as a name for the student section.oneoutofmany said:

Yes...he was before Jimmy. And they were definitely referred to as hecklers before the term Raggies came into existence.Lemmys Rickenbacker said:Could you be talking about George? This was before Raggies was used as a name for the student section.oneoutofmany said:

I take that back. Upon further consideration, the best Jimmy story might be SW Louisiana State, their 350 pound freshman first basemen, and a Twinkie on a fishing pole.
We saw the kid on a Friday, the props get brought on Saturday, and on Sunday one of their players or coaches tells us that their team thought it was hysterical. So while he was at dinner, one of their coaches bought a box of Twinkies and left it in this poor corpulent kid's hotel room. He goes in, finds it, and apparently goes bat$*#t crazy.

The chronology goes George, Original Raggies, and then Jimmy with some overlap.

I enjoyed reading this thread. Great memories! Jimmy was a legit Raggie and brought his "A" game every night.

Back in the mid-80's we had a relief pitcher that the press box would always play Hawaii-5-0 them song when he came in to pitch. Who remembers who the reliever was? Those were the days, I remember the San Diego Chicken came in for a game once. We would all sit over the visitors dugout with our props and drive them nuts, almost got Cougar High to come into the stands one series, there were losing it.

Great to see John post this. I remember being at some nice Italian place with some Raggies after a game John's freshman year (I don't know why we were at someplace nice). He was there with his mom.
John comes over, admittedly we didn't recognize him because he was playing behind Jason Stephens and (shoot the 1b who hit the walkoff grand slam vs Tech. Matt something? I'm drawing a blank).
John says "hey y'all are the Raggies, right? we really appreciate your support".
Needless to say John got huge cheers from all of us at that dinner that night for the next 4 years and was my fave Aggie ballplayer.

Ahhh, so many stories of watching games with "Q-Bert". Those were some of my most fun days at A&M.
Another favorite was against Rice when we were still in the SWC. Graham lost his mind one game after a call the Umpire made and ended up on his hands and knees mounding up dirt on home plate.
The next day we all had sand box toys hanging from the railing with a sign "Wayne's Sandbox"
George was still legendary at that point too. Didn't say much, but when he did it was golden.
