I got to face them twice the summer before they went to State. They played for the 96'ers, I was on the Jr team. Not sure why, but Pete got offended when I called him the "300 pound shortstop". I was closing, Tracy led off, Pete batted 3rd. Got tracy, but Pete almost took my damn head off with a line drive, missing it by about 6 inches. He was talking shit from first after it. I got the last laugh with the save though.

But damn Pete could swing the bat. It was...

pitches by me in the South State Tourney at McComb that I never saw. The fastest at bat in the history of the tournament.

Echols hit a bomb off my best friend that is the farthest hit HR I witnessed in person. Estimated to be 500 feet.

He hit it over the tree in CF, over the road, and into the middle of the YMCA pool parking lot. I was 10, he was 12, and we had known each other awhile. I was giving him the the unitentional intentional walk with the bases loaded to force in a run to get...

getting autographs in 1990 during a regional or something, falling off the dugout. Whole team signed a ball and gave it to him if I remember correctly. I hated that kid and didn't even know him.

Oh yeah, thanks LT or NCAA or whoever for not letting kids on the dugout anymore!!

I remember in 1927 during prohibition when Greg Freehauser was playing ss and they moved Dan Shinklebreaker to 3B which replaced Billy McShuckles to 1b. We were roasting a suckling pig in the back of our model T and I remember coach Hefferjohns took three steps to the left at exactly 3:07 P.M. and that's when Mike Johanson from the Louisiana Aggies hit a grounder past 2B Kevin Dohardy. The ball took a 47 degree trajectory and the wind was blowing from the south west at 12 knots. The moon...

You are thinking of Chuck Holly. Robinson was the 90 catcher, but not the 89 catcher. The Mitchells didn't crack the lineup until 90.

and I think Jim Robinson was the catcher, but that may have been in '90. Along with David and Scott Mitchell in the lineup. I've still got the signed baseball cards of all them boys.

My most memorable is '90 and '97.

i always thought he'd surface as a head coaching prospect eventually.

for the list to indicate batting order. Just trying to go around the positions and name who was the primary player at each position for what I consider the two best MSU baseball teams ever. I believe those 2 teams are still the only MSU teams to win 50 or more games in a season. There may have been one year since that we've done that but I don't think so.

My senior year at State. I remember Dan Van Cleve as the leadoff guy and Will and Raffy swapping the 3 and 4 spot. I also thought Bubby batted 5th. I have a lineup from the World Series that year somewhere. I also had a set of those baseball cards, but my 14-year old son stole them from me.

At one time, I had a set of baseball cards for this team. Prolly still have it somewhere. Wonder what that would be worth.

Masters went to 3B and Scott Mitchell played 2B.

Re: Memory game....

feeds@yuku.com (maroonmania) — Fri, 16 May 2008 08:33:44 GMT

I think you are right. The primary 2B for the 89 team was Shave. Seems he got much more time there than Masters. I believe in 90, after Hildreth graduated, Shave played another year and moved to SS and Masters got full time 2B. At least that's the way I'm remembering it now.

Re: Memory game....

feeds@yuku.com (MagnificentBastard) — Fri, 16 May 2008 08:31:47 GMT

Shave came into to play 2nd when Pete Young moved to pitcher. Masters would move from 2nd to 3rd.
