This guy brings back memories. Him and Mark Ross were on the team my junior year when Olsen Field was opened, and the Aggies won the SWC that year. What I remember most about that season was the Astros coming to Olsen to play an exhibition game between their spring training and opening day.

When the Aggies would get a runner on first I remember thinking how funny it looked for these skinny white kids to be standing next to Bull Watson. The Aggies won the game 1-0. For sure the Astros weren't taking the game too seriously, a couple of days later they opened against the Reds and shelled Tom Seaver in the early innings. But that was one of about a million times in my life thinking that baseball is a funny game.

I've posted about this game before and no one has ever commented. Am I the only one who remembers it?

That game was documented in the next seasons' media guide. I can post pictures once I get access to my copy again.

Cool! Did the Aggies win 1-0 like I thought? My memory for stuff like that's been pretty good, but surely not infallible. I just posted on the other thread about remembering Chris Cemmons pitching a night game against Baylor in '93, the Friday game I think, wondering if I got that right? Why would I still remember that but can't remember where I put my keys an hour ago?

The Aggies won that game in the bottom of the 10th inning when freshman Rodney Hodde hit a HR over the batter's eye in CF. I was warming up in the bullpen to pitch the 11th when it happened. Even though it didn't mean anything it was pretty cool. Nolan Ryan was so mad that he wouldn't go thru the handshake line after the game

Oh wow, was he still upset that Tom Chandler told him he needed to go to a JUCO before he could get a scholarship from A&M?

As I remember the way TC told the story was that he (TC) told Nolan he needed more experience before he was ready to play at Texas A&M. But I'm betting you may have heard that story firsthand, the same way I did.

His card mentions a home run in the bottom of the 9th to beat the sips. Seems like it's missing something.

"Here's their number 1 reliever"
I'm not sure if people genuinely believe someone is going to say, "Wow, if some people say I'm a moron for not believing this, it clearly must be true."

It's not much a persuasive argument. It really just sounds like a bunch of miniature dachshunds barking because the first one one barked when it thought it heard something.
