SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS
Moon Gets Fast Start
By CHUCK NEIGHBORS
When old-timer (37) Epps Slaughter, veteran center
fielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, was traded to the world
champion Yankees, a young man replaced him.
On his first day of major league competition, this young
man came to the plate for the first time and blasted a home
run over the wall in St. Louis’
Sportsman Park.
The young man who replaced
veteran Slaughter is Wallace Wade
Moon who was graduated from
A&M in the class of 1951.
Wally, as he prefers to be called,
was a standout baseball player
while playing for the Aggies. He
burned up the South American
league he played in last winter,
leading the loop in home runs,
RBIs and hitting.
When this reporter read Wally
had blasted a home run his first trip to the plate for the
Cards, he was reminded of an incident which occurred when
Wally wa# coaching the Fish dia
mond squad in the spring of 1952.
It was in the ball park at Austin
just before a freshman game be
tween the Fish and UT Shorthorns.
The Fish were at the plate taking
their batting practice when sud
denly. a batter began driving balls
which bounced off the rock cliff
in center field. About the third
time this happened,' I looked down
and saw it was Wally Moon. With
power like that, it’s no wonder
Wally was picked by the Card’s
organization to replace a man as
capable as Country Slaughter.
The freshman team Wally coach
ed in 1952 had such stalwarts as
Brownie Northrup, starting short
stop for the Aggies this year, and
pitching aces Joe Hardgrove and
Jerry Nelson. The varsity batting
leader, catcher Jimmy Williams,
was also on the Moon-coached
team.
Named for the famous University
of Alabama back of the Golden
Twenties, Wallace Wade, Wallace
Moon is truly a son Texas A&M
can be proud of.
