  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Hardly, think back to the 1989 championship game at the CWS.
  5. We really are. I think you might have some memories of that jersey I just posted on here.
  6. I'm partial to this, but I have personal reasons.
  7. No, but I played a lot of baseball. I have seen some movies though if that is what you mean.
  8. No, that is how it's scored, always has been.
  9. The batter is given a hit.
  10. Mack could join Craig and Keith on the call and tell us how Texas is really getting the "explosive" plays tonight.
  11. Left fielder admired that shot for a good bit there.
  12. 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.
  13. It's gotten a little louder for Keith and Craig. I think they have made it to the moon.
  14. Yes, they are but the sound is bad, field mic is higher than Craig and Keith.
  15. Don't bring me down, groos. 😃 It's an inside joke about the lyrics, if you know you know what I mean.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. The base running outs now deadlocked at 2-2.
  19. The field mic makes that sound louder than Keith and Craig. Might want to adjust that.
  20. Left fielder seemed to think he had a play on it. If there is any wind it probably gave it a little boost.
  21. If it had been a fly Craig would have described it. The fly was of the normal house size, with a green head, with blue veins on his clear wings.
  22. What was all that banging there between innings? Sounded like Craig was trying to kill a fly.
  23. Base running outs abound by both teams.
  24. Guy at third hesitated and it cost him, not exactly running on contact.
