It's good to see my namesake in the background. I practically grew up there in the 60's.

I got you all beat when it comes to names.

Awesome article, especially the ending (which is still true today):

Center fielder was probably Jay Arnette.

I have seen him hold a batter to a double on a hit on top of "billy goat hill".

The most amazing place to watch games. My Dad took me to games all the time. We picked up a gentleman who's last name is Fisher and took him with us. I later on found out he was one of the first baseball players at UT. Great times.

So, why were the Yankees playing Texas...?

MLB teams used to play a lot of exhibition games like that.

Exhibition game. Used to happen all the time, even as late as the 70s and 80s.
