Athletic skill
does not a role
model make
Family val
ues seems to
be the new
catch phrase to
sweep across
the United
States. We as a
people are
supposedly
strengthening
our roots in
the home,
coming closer
together and
becoming
morally sound.
So with this
type of refor
mation supposedly taking place it is
easy to assume that society would
decide to buy stock in itself rather
than invest in a twenty-year-old
rookie phenomenon that gave up his
last year of eligibility in college to
make a meager eight figure salary
over a five year period for putting a
small ball through a hoop suspended
10 feet off of the ground. No, I don't
think so.
I think Charles Barkley, MVP of
the NBA, summed it up best when
he said, "I am not played to be a role
model." If he was, it would be
amazing to see how high ticket costs
would skyrocket.
It seems as if the public has for
gotten what the term role model
means. A role model is someone
that inspires others by the way they
live their lives, not by how they slam
dunk a basketball or throw a curve-
ball.
In actuality we aren't that far off
in our search for role models. In

A&M packs a punch with batting lineup

takes a swing at a pitch in the Region I at bats on the day.
Aggies knocking out competition
with several hitting combinations
By KYLE BURNETT
77/e Battalion
The Texas A&M baseball team was
thrust into the national limelight early in
the 1993 season because of its pitching
staff. Lurking backstage in the shadows,
however, is a very powerful batting line
up.
"As a team we all hit real well," said
sophomore shortstop Robert Harris. "We
were all confident at the plate."
An example of the Aggies' confidence
at the plate could be seen at the Regional
Tournament last weekend. The Aggies
racked up 56 hits in 150 at bats for a .373
average. Nearly one-third of the 56 hits
were for extra bases.
Senior outfielder Brian Thomas, who
lead the team throughout the year with a
.379 average, said the lack of attention
their hitting game received might have
been an advantage.
"Maybe (our success) was making our
opponents think that pitching was our
thing," he said. "But our pitching has
won a lot of games. So I don't think you
will hear any hitters complain."
Aggie third baseman Lee Fedora said
the division between the two was never
an issue to the team.
"When you have six or seven pitchers
who can come out of the bullpen and are
that good, you sometimes get put to the
wayside," he said. "But we are not about
(getting attention), we are just out there
to punch it out."
And speaking of punching it out, the
hard-hitting sophomore punched two
balls right out of Olsen Field during the
Regional Tournament last weekend.
The first shot, a grand slam in the
eight inning of the UCLA game Saturday,
went over the wall at about 340 feet.
"I was just trying to put the ball in
play," Fedora said, drawing a light laugh
and smile from A&M head coach Mark
Johnson.
The second shot came the following
day. The three-run homer sailed over the
wall in right center field, about 380 feet,
during the sixth inning of the Aggies'
routing of the North Carolina Tar Heels.
What makes the Aggies' hitting so
dangerous is the batters' versatility.
"We are all great hitters and we can all
go anywhere in the lineup," Thomas said.
Throughout the regionals Johnson
continued his season-long practice of
changing the batting order to get around
left-handed pitchers.
The most obvious example of where
this strategy paid off is the designated
hitter position which rotated between
David Minor and Rob Trimble.
When Minor was sent in to face a left-
handed relief pitcher from Lamar Univer
sity in the regionals, he knocked in a run
with a single to right field.
"A key factor I think was David Mi
nor," Thomas said. "He has responded all
year. When a left handed pitcher came,
throughout the season we'd put him in
there and he ended up having three or
four home runs."
As the Aggies prepare to make their
way to Omaha, Neb., for the College
World Series, the team is hoping the fire
in their bats doesn't go out.
"I don't think the break is going to
hurt us," Thomas said. "We are on a lev
el right now and if we can cap it off until
we get to Omaha, (the break in play)
won't hurt us at all."
"I think a couple of days off will do us
good," Thomas said.
But that couple of days will disappear
quickly for A&M.
The top seeded Aggies will spend to
day traveling to Omaha and Thursday
practicing.
They are scheduled to play Friday af
ternoon at 3 against number eight seed
Kansas.
