He ot only was drafted by the Oakland .thletics but also was chosen to rep- :sent the United States in the Pan merican Games. With the United States capturing le silver medal by Finishing second ehind Cuba, Livingstone is on his ay to the 1988 Summer Olympics nd a long career in baseball, The main goal (as a team) was to ilify for the Olympics," said Liv- itone, 22 and a senior agricultu- economics major from Dallas, And we did. Of course I wanted the ild medal, but the Cubans were pposed to win and they did. But ley’resomuch more experienced.” Only the top two teams at the Pan m Games qualify for the 1988 ummer Olympics in Seoul, South orea. “If Cuba came in first, we had to line in second,” Livingstone ex- lained. “If they would have lost, we ould have had to come in First, hey get an automatic bid because ley’re Cuba and they’re the num- rone team in the world. We had play well. “Basically the Pan American ames is a warmup for competition id a chance for teams to qualify for e Olympics. They have them the immer before the Olympics.” The team is chosen by the Pan merican baseball coaches. “They usually know from the playi base. Scott Livingstone coaches around the country who the good players are," Livingstone said of his selection. "There are regional directors who call coaches around the region to Find the good players. They pool all of those together and pick from there. Luckily my name was one of the ones to come up. “When they told me I was picked, I was tickled to death. I wanted to g 0 ” During the Pan American Games Livingstone hit for the cycle against Canada and knocked in Five of the seven runs scored by the U.S. squad to boost the team into the gold medal game against Cuba. He batted .345 during the summer and tied the team lead in doubles with 11. For Livingstone, playing baseball also meant leaving the Dallas home front. “We travelled the East Coast mainly,” Livingstone said. “We stayed in North Carolina, Indiana, [4-7233.

That was an experience in itself. It was very scary. That’s where I lost all of my weight. I got food poisoning and I spent my birthday in the hospital. It was a good birthday.” Livingstone was right at home ving his usual position — third aase. "We played a 36-game schedule,” he explained. "I played third base on about 30 of them." He continued his baseball career at A&M from Lake Highlands High School where he earned All-State honors his junior and senior vears and All-America honors in 1984. But that was not enough for Liv ingstone. He came to Texas A&M where he was named All-Southwest Conference his freshman year by leading the SWC with eight home runs, setting a school record. He stayed on the “honor roll” by being selected to the NCAA South II Re gional All-Tournament team in 1986. Are you thinking big league material? Livingstone was drafted on three occasions — 1984 by the Toronto Blue Jays, 1986 by the New York Yankees and 1987 by the Oakland Athletics. After playing three years of Aggie baseball, he weighed the advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages were heavier. “I have completed discussions with Oakland and have decided to return to Texas A&M for my senior Classified, 776-SELL, to find out more. year,” Livingstone said. “Oakland has been very fair to me and I appre ciate their professional manner and interest. “I respect their final position, but believe their proposal is not suffi cient for me to forego the educatio nal and athletic opportunities avail able to me at A&M.” Aggies should be relieved that Livingstone is returning for his se nior year. A&M Coach Mark John son is. "Obviously, we are extremely pleased and excited about Scott's re turn for his senior year," Johnson said, "We will no doubt be a better team with Scott Livingstone. "The experiences he has already achieved not only at Texas A&Mf, but in playing in the tough Alaskan League, and then representing our country on the USA team this sum mer, certainly have enhanced his overall development, not only as a baseball player, but as a student and E erson as well. We’re pleased he’s ere.” Livingstone is not the only Aggie in his family. His older brother, Bill, and his sister-in-law are A&M grad uates. Bill tried out for the A&M baseball team but was not as lucky as Scott. “It has been my goal for many years to play professional baseball,” Livingstone said, “and I plan to be gin that career in June of 1988. For the 1987-88 school year, I am com mitted to Coach Johnson, my team mates and Texas A&M, and will work hard to contribute to the base ball program and the University.” PVC PICNIC TABLE.

A&M fell to 5-12 on the season and 0-1 in conference. The Owls are now 14-2 and 1-0. Lady Aggie Coach A1 Givens said, “This one was a tough one to lose. If each game had only gone to 13 points, we would have won in four (games). “I was pleased with parts of the match,” he said. “We came back strong in the fourth game, but we let it slip away in the fifth. “Rice is a good team. They had their whole starting lineup re turning, and even as good as we were last year, we lost at home in five. “We’ll rebound from this loss." Vivian Viera led the attack for A&M. She had a career-high 27 kills (also a season-high for the team) out of 49 attempts. IEW0RK. Bricks; Patios; aces, etc. 1-836-3269. Massage-Health & Fitness Md & Assoc. Ther- lic massage.
