Alumni Weekend

This weekend we were lucky enough to have our alumni return for an alumni baseball game. Although we still don't have a ton of alumni yet due to the fact we've only been around for years years, we had a great turn out and had a lot of fun.

Ryan Mulle, one of our former coaches and players, did most of the work coordinating and organizing the event and did an outstanding job. Saturday began with a Home Run Derby in which Clay Calfee just edged out Drew Caraway. Then the game began. The game pitted the alumni vs. alumni. One thing that struck me as I watched the two teams play was how good these guys still were and while some of their bodies may have changed slightly, several still had not lost their ability to play the game. Derek Bockhorn did his usual as he rolled out of bed and hit a home run and a couple of doubles.

I don't think anybody remembers the final score or even knew it in the first place. The main point was that it was great to get those guys together again and I really enjoyed watching them play. Following the game the players proceeded to the golf course and got in 18 holes. I hope it says something positive about our program and Angelo State that so many of our players returned for this, but I know all of our players are very thankful for all that Angelo State did for them while they were here and want great things for the future of the school and the baseball program. It was a great weekend and I can't wait until next year.
