your freshman year - still had a freshman team back then. Just think what career stats would look like with one more season. I enjoyed watching him hit my first 2 years on campus - never missed a home game.

We’ve been blessed with a good number of great players. But when I start to think of who I would like to see play just one more time, Adkins comes to mind. Same with Bert Heffernan and Khalil Greene.

What year was this photo taken?...

RC Edwards presenting him with award and almost no empty seats in the background, so I'm guessing mid to late 1970s?

Judging by what Rusty's wearing--three-button coat, fairly skinny tie--It must be late '60s. Definitely not what we wore in the '70s. (Edwards was president from 1958 to 1979.)

Definitely is at a football game. 60's was before my time so I don't know if the fb games would have been that packed in the 60's.

baseball field was located up the hill where the tennis courts are located. We'd shag foul ball for Wilhelm if the went out side the park. Wilhelm was so cheap that the only thing he'd give us is a broken bat if there were any! I had three of them with nails driven in them and taped up so I could play Little League with them.
