I just remember Pete Incaviglia hit a bomb out of Mack Park field that landed in the adjacent apartment parking lot, roughly 500 feet from home plate.
When you divide what I believe was TWO scholarships amongst a baseball team, it is a) a club sport for all intents and purposes; and b) enough to give each player McDonalds coupons, free Taco Casa tacos (then priced at 29 cents) and a Big Chief notepad.
And yet, driving out to Mack Field and watching them was a delight. And every once in a while, magic happened.
Title IX shut it down, along with a great Mens Soccer team, for the lady sports.
As it turns out, I get immense joy, more than from baseball or mens soccer, watching our softball team.
