Braves-Astros
So I watched the Braves-Astros game. Not all 18 innings, but probably 15 innings of it, including all of the extra innings. Great game.

But I was really hoping for one team to run out of pitchers and have to call in the shortstop to throw. Alas, neither did. Close, though.

IB,

Did you go to school with a player on the Astros? And did a pitcher on the Cardinals also go to that school?

Yeah, Craig Biggio was a friend of mine's suite-mate in the dorms. I don't know about the Cardinals' pitcher.

Matt Morris went to college there as well.

Probably about 10 years after I did. Never heard of him.

I was there when Biggio and former Red Sox John Valentin were there, and left the year before Mo Vaughn showed up. The star of the team was not Biggio by any means, but a guy named Marteese Robinson, who led the NCAA in hitting. There were also several first-round draft pick pitchers, none of whom made the majors.

Thanks for the info though, Jim.
