  2. The thing about that 1989 title game is that nobody expected it to be played that day. Yes, I there and it poured rain all morning, under normal circumstances it would have been postponed. However, CBS was going to carry the game live at noon, but only if it was played that day. So, of course it was played and yes if it had been the next day, Dressendorfer would have been the starting pitcher. The big matchup of the Series was when Texas and Dressendorfer faced LSU and Big Ben McDonald, Texas shelled him, and he was knocked out in the 4th inning to win. Dress wasn't sharp either, but Bryan Dare came in and closed it out. Coach Gus asked Dressendorfer if he could go, and he said he couldn't yet. Scott Bryant had to start instead and was wild, Dare had to come in and get out of the inning. Texas made like three errors and fell behind and never recovered. The first inning was a killer as Texas led off the game with back-to-back singles, but David Tolleson got picked off first on of all things the fake to third and throw to first play and Texas didn't score. The uniforms looked good though. The two Texas players at the start of this video were actually guys that didn't play that much, Curry Hardin a pitcher #13 and backup catcher Eddie Toledo #35. Maybe that's why Gus let them do it.

  4. Back from the past, been talking about him all year, has serious stuff, a big breaker to go with the mid 90's heater. Would be the best pitcher on the team, if he could get that stuff under control.
  5. I can tell you how Frank Erwin saved us in the baseball parking lot one time from the UT Police. We were drinking beer, and they said it was against the Regent's rules. I saw Frank coming out and getting into his white caddy. I ran and got him, and he came and talked to the cops. He asked them what was going on, my young friend here says you have a problem. They told him we were drinking in the parking lot and that was against the Regent's Rules. He looked at the head cop and said "I wrote the goddamn Regent's Rules and I say they can. Cop said yes sir and got out of there quick with is buddies. Isn't that better than pyramid stories? 😃
  6. I do have a lot of stories, almost too many to tell and some I really can't even if the statutes of limitations are probably no longer in effect.
  7. Spike was a special person and player, when Texas lost to Miami at the 82 CWS. On my way out of Rosenblatt Stadium, I walked by where the players went into the locker room, this was well after the game. Spike was standing outside the door still in his uniform crying. I stopped by and asked him what was wrong, you gave it all you had. He said he didn't want to go in and take off his Longhorn uniform for the last time. I almost started crying myself. I opened the door and kind of shooed him in. He was all Longhorn, talk about bleeding burnt orange. Saw him soon in Arlington and his parent when he was in MLB playing the Rangers.
  8. Typo, I think faster than I type sometimes. I knew Spike and his parents very well.
  9. The uniforms I ordered were supposed to be white. The company said they had used up all the special cotton which was called "brick cotton" on the white Dodger's uniforms and only had gray left, so I had to get the gray.
  10. Yes, those were the ones in the late 70's and early 80's. They had some uniforms that were all burnt orange then, but several had faded to a shade of kind of pink, they got washed with the football uniforms at DKR. Spike Owens used to call them the "pink pajamas." This is what I meant by not so nice uniforms once upon a time. They were pull over jerseys with no buttons. The pants had no belts. The polyester stuff like some MLB teams wore then.
  11. The truth about that jersey and the uniform is that once upon a time Texas didn't have nice new uniforms, hard to believe but it was. In the 1980's a guy I knew designed those uniforms after a design from the 60's. I pitched them to Coach Gus, and he finally agreed if we could get them and the money. With the help of the baseball club, there was no Longhorn Foundation then, we made it happened. I placed the order with the same company in California that made the Dodger's uniforms. It took a while to get them, the team thought I was just making it up. Then one day at practice a Fed EX truck pulled up and I went out and the guy asked me where to deliver these uniforms. I said let me show you and I took him down to the locker room. I walked in first and I think it was Doug Hodo said sarcastically when are we getting those uniforms. I smiled and said right now. The delivery guy wheeled in the boxes. They had name plates, but Gus wasn't having that. They wore them for several years. Then in 1989, a manager saw them and really liked them, and they wore them for that title game, which we unfortunately lost to Wichita State. When that manager was about to graduate, he called me and in the dead of night we went to the third base locker room in a closed area where all the uniforms were kept. He gave me the one pictured, which is #26. It was Coach Bill Bethea's jersey. I got #32 for the guy that designed the uniforms, which belonged to Bryan Cisarik.
  12. Hardly, think back to the 1989 championship game at the CWS.
  13. We really are. I think you might have some memories of that jersey I just posted on here.
  14. I'm partial to this, but I have personal reasons.
  15. No, but I played a lot of baseball. I have seen some movies though if that is what you mean.
  16. No, that is how it's scored, always has been.
  17. The batter is given a hit.
  18. Mack could join Craig and Keith on the call and tell us how Texas is really getting the "explosive" plays tonight.
  19. Left fielder admired that shot for a good bit there.
  20. Craig said Texas is wearing burnt orange jerseys, with Texas emboldened in white script lettering on the front, with white block numerals on the back, the sleeves adorned with a white Longhorn head.
  21. It's gotten a little louder for Keith and Craig. I think they have made it to the moon.
  22. Yes, they are but the sound is bad, field mic is higher than Craig and Keith.
  23. Don't bring me down, groos. 😃 It's an inside joke about the lyrics, if you know you know what I mean.
  24. The sound for Craig and Keith is low and the field sound high. That was ELO as in Electric Light Orchestra between innnings. Missed hit and run signs instead of straight steals.
  25. I keep thinking these are missed hit and runs, but I don't know now. It's hard with this crazy sound and ELO blasting.
