Enjoyed the memories!

I have never heard anyone discuss the conversation at the CWS in 1989 at the beginning of the first game broadcast where the pbp announcer asked the color commentator " Of these 8 teams here, who do you think
is going to win the CWS? The guy answered. " I don't know.....the best team is not even here". An obvious reference to our Texas Aggies!

I was there for both games and it was my fish year in the Corps. For me, it was the greatest sports moment (and to this day) still is that I've ever been a part of. Pure insanity!

This was the spring before my freshman year, and following from Houston, I fell in love with Aggie baseball. I couldn't wait to be a student and attend games. I didn't miss many home games after for the next 6 years. Many memories with this view!
