Posts: 228 05/15/08 05:24 PM	Tags : None I'm trying to go by memory to see if I can remember the position players, weekend starters and closer for arguably the 2 best MSU baseball teams of all times 1985 & 1989. Here goes: 1985: C - Roarke McDonald 1B - Will Clark 2B - Gator Thiesen SS - Frank ? 3B - John Scott LF - Rafael Palmeiro CF - Dan Van Cleve RF - Bobby Thigpen DH - John Mitchell P - Jeff Brantley P - Gene Morgan P - Steve King? C - Bobby Thigpen 1989: C - Barry Swinford 1B - Tommy Raffo 2B - Burke Masters SS - Brad Hildreth 3B - Pete Young LF - John Cohen CF - Jody Hurst RF - Tracy Echols or Ron Swinford or Richie Grayum? DH - Tracy Echols or Richie Grayum? P - Bobby Reed P - Chris George P - Tracy Jobes? C - Pete Young Both of those teams were awesome and I enjoyed watching both. 85 team definitely had the best individual players while the 89 team was the best we ever had up and down the lineup and I believe won 58 games. Can any of you walking MSU baseball dictionaries clear up my question marks? Some of the guys on the 89 team I believe did move around some between the OF and DH.

Posts: 3047 05/15/08 10:43 PM	Didn't Echols have to sit out a year because of grades and then come back? Winford, Hildreth, and Hurst were childhood hero's that I haven't thought about in a long, long time.

Tracy was never one to be motivated in the classroom, even when we were in elementary. I wished he had worked harder. He always had it so easy growing up, it became a detriment to him later on. He hit the longest HR off me in Little League baseball history "I don't think LSU finishes at the bottom of the West, by any stretch, but I think think they have the least chance of winning it." - Bulldogbaja on the upcoming SEC West

Posts: 231 05/16/08 08:33 AM	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.

Posts: 4402 05/16/08 10:58 AM	At one time, I had a set of baseball cards for this team. Prolly still have it somewhere. Wonder what that would be worth.

Posts: 36 05/16/08 11:15 AM	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.

Posts: 233 05/16/08 12:28 PM	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.

Posts: 3020 05/16/08 01:14 PM Meteorologist	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.

Posts: 3994 05/16/08 01:35 PM Moderator	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.

Posts: 682 05/16/08 02:15 PM	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 was in the quadrant of saggitarius. They charged an error to Dohardy and our era was 4.987. Our pitcher, Jack "Bully" Handlebaum went on to strike out the rest of the batters. His moustache had a wingspan of 6 inches. We were such great fans that everyone of us in left field lounge gave each blade of grass on the field a nickname. Since there was no "legal" alcohol allowed we made our own hootch out of potatoes that we grew where the right field deck is now. I can't tell you what I had for lunch yesterday, but I can still tell you the batting average of every player on that 27' team. Those were the good ole days. ------------------ "look, bring your wife and I will introduce her to my wife.....don't ask me to tell you how my wife makes pickled peppers"

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!!
