poor guy.

[Cdizzle]

The No. 131st left-handed pitcher?

Can I order my Super Regional tickets now, or do I have to wait?

[SB Shock]

poor guy.

If Hoop or Standiford is hired in June.....

The only thing that really matters is his height? He better be over 6' or I don't want him on campus. There is no way anyone under 6' tall can be an effective baseball player.

Well you're in luck as I looked up all these guys and the shortest is 6' which is Alex Jackson.

[Cdizzle]

Does being 'height-ist' give the university cause?

Any truth to the rumor that HCTB will replace the National Anthem next year with his favorite tune:

Kind of ironic considering Butler himself is vertically challenged.

That was the first thing I looked for. He's 6'4. So it really doesn't matter what his numbers are (1.97 era 30 k's in 21 innings)

Just in case it doesnt show im picking up what you're throwing down and I'm nodding vehemently

[Cdizzle]

6'4"? He must be amazing.

Imagine how good Butler could have made Johnny Coy and Paul Miller. Heck, we may never have won that title in '06.

What do these players have in common, besides being in the Hall of Fame?

Mickey Mantle
Willie Mays
Ted Williams
Hank Aaron
Yogi Berra

Just wondering.

Alex the answer is "Name 5 guys who have never been in my kitchen."

I thought you might be going for the size thing but Ted Williams ws 6-3 and Mantle and Aaron were 6-0 so those 3 guys would be recruitable by Todd Butler. Yogi and the Say Hey Kid would not make the cut though. So I will have to go with my answer above.

According to my source, they were all under 6-0.

I did question the Ted Williams height. He was lanky as I recall.
