A Tribute to
The Texas Killer
The young man had everything in the world going for
him, a degree, a wife, new job and the rest of his life to live
and enjoy. But on October 29, 1969, Steve Hillhouse was
buried in College Station.
Although standing only 5 feet 9 inches and weighing
165 pounds, he was known in Southwest Conference baseball
circles as the “Texas Killer.” Hillhouse had six varsity wins
over the University of Texas with only a single loss.
Steve entered A&M in the fall of 1962 and started his
freshman career with two wins over the University of Texas.
In the spring of 1964, he pitched the Aggies to the
Southwest Conference Championship, winning seven and
losing twice. He had a conference record of seven wins and a
single loss. Out of 79 2/3 innings pitched, he allowed 67 hits
and 32 runs. Of those runs only 15 were earned for an earned
run average of 1.68. He issued 31 walks and whipped 51
batters.
For his sophomore performance, Steve was named
“Sophomore Of The Year” and “Player Of The Year” for the
Southwest Conference. Oh yes, he was also unanimous
A11-Southwest Conference. Later, the University of
Minnesota beat him at the College World Series 7-4, on five
unearned runs. The Gophers went on to win the national
Championship at Omaha, Nebraska.
His junior year, Hillhouse posted a 6-3 record for the
season and a 5-3 mark for conference. This was the only year
that the Longhorns were able to turn the trick on the Aggie
chuncker as they beat him on May 7, 1965. With the score
tied at one all in the top of the eighth inning with two Horn’s
on the pads and with only one out, Steve was removed from
the game. The next Texas batter doubled to credit the two
runs to Hillhouse and the loss.
“It was an extremely hot and humid day and Steve was
just completely exhausted,” remembers Aggie coach Tom
Chandler. But, Steve was again named to the All-Southwest
Conference squad.
In his senior year, Steve more than made up for the
1965 loss. In the first game, he shut out the Longhorns 9-0 in
what had to be one of the finest games he ever pitched. It
ranked the first time in 199 games that the Longhorns had
been shut out. Hillhouse gave up 5 hits and walked
none—without a Longhorn ever reaching second base.
After the Aggies lost a couple of conference games, they
went into the last two Texas games needing both to tie for
the Conference crown. Hillhouse started the first game and
won 9-5. The next day, Steve came in to pitch in the seventh
inning and again beat Texas 8-6. The Aggies beat Texas all
three games and Hillhouse was the winner in all three.
Some pitchers overpower their opponents, others use
control. Hillhouse was controller deluxe. Hillhouse could
always control his assets to perform his best when the game
was crucial. He never lost his poise and confidence no matter
what the situation was in the game.
The A&M-Texas rivalry on the athletic field is extremely
competitive. Its competitive atmosphere has caused many
good athletes to “choke up” from trying too hard to beat
their opponents. Steve always seemed to “better his best”
and perform far and beyond his physical capabilities in this
intense rivalry.
Hillhouse was married to Miss Sylvia Mansfield,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Mansfield, in the All-Faiths
Chapel this September. On Monday, October 20, 1969, he
was critically injuried in a one car accident on the Kansas
Turnpike at Lawrence, Kansas. Six days later, he died in a
Lawrence hospital. Steve is buried in the College Station
cemetery near the campus and Kyle Field where he was one
of the most successful Aggie baseball players to ever wear
maroon and white. Because of his heart and courage, he will
never be forgotten by his teammates and opponents.

Slugging Harmon Killebm
Wins Most Valuable Aim
NEW YORK UP) — Harmon
Killebrew, a quiet baldish man
who led the major leagues with
49 home runs and 140 runs bat
ted in for the Minnesota Twins,
was named Wednesday the Most
Valuable Player in the American
League for 1969.
The muscular Killebrew, who
bounced back strong from an in
jury in the 1968 All-Star game
that threatened to end his career,
was a decisive winner over John
“Boog” Powell of the pennant
winning Baltimore Orioles. Pow
ell batted .304, hit 37 homers and
knocked in 121 runs.
Killebrew, 33, received 16 of
the first place votes by the 24-
man committee of the Baseball
Writers Association of America,
two from each league city. The
voting, completed before the be
ginning of the playoffs and thus
restricted to performance in
regular season games, was tabu
lated and announced by Jack
Lang, secretary-treasurer of the
writers’ group. Minnesota won
the league’s Western Division
before losing to Baltimore in the
playoffs.
Frank Robinson of Baltimore,
who had won the MVP in the
American League in 1964 and in
the National League with Cin
cinnati in 1961, received the two
remaining first-place votes. Rob
inson hit .308 with 32 homers
and 100 RBI.
The writers mentioned 37
players in the balloting and 10
of the 12 clubs were represented.
Only Chicago and Cleveland fail
ed to draw a vote.
The point score, based on 14
for a first-place vote, nine for
second, eight for third and so on
down to one for tenth gave Kil-
lebrew 294 points, Powell 227
and Robinson 162.
