The answer to the test question
Aggies

dwell on what could have been.
"You can't sit there and say,
"rr
and, they made some outstanding
defense plays."
Johnson said the mistakes
made by the A&M defense and
the inability to drive in runs,
might be due to inexperience in
the College World Series.
A&M's bats couldn't drive in
the runs, stranding 10 men on
base.
"Maybe it's one of those things
where you fight real hard to get to
a regional, then learn how to play
in a regional, then you get to fight
real hard to get to Omaha, then
you have to learn to play at Oma
ha," he said.
Texas A&M shortstop Robert
Harris said he wasn't going to
'What if . . . ' all day," he said. If
we had made a couple plays, we
could have won that ballgame, or
they could have stomped us."
Harris said he will be ready for
next year.
"I think that we've got a good
shot at coming back next year," he
said. "I don't think that anybody
on the team is happy about the
way we played or about just be
ing here. We wanted to win this
thing."
Johnson said he expects next
year's team to be another solid
ballclub and lauded the 1993 team
for its accomplishments.
"We have some outstanding
athletes coming back," he said. "I
think this '93 group has given us a
new vision. Now we have some
tangible evidence about Omaha."

got the winning run home
when he doubled to the 408-
foot sign in center field.
Long Beach State, which
eliminated Texas A&M 6-2 ear
lier Tuesday, plays LSU on
Wednesday and Oklahoma
State plays Wichita State (57-16)
on Thursday.
Tim Harkrider hit a two-run
homer in the second to give
Texas a 2-0 lead, and the Long
horns chased Oklahoma State
starter Earl Wheeler with two
more runs in the third. Stephen
Larkin doubled in a run, then
scorted on a double by Joel
Williamson.
The Longhorns made it 5(1
in the fourth when Heinrich
scored as Oklahoma State short
stop Fred Ocasio dropped Jerry
Taylor's fly ball.
Triplett's two-out double in
the sixth scored Hugo with the j
first Oklahoma State run. An in
ning later, Roberto Lopez sin
gled in a run, Hugo had a run
scoring double and Peter Pro-
danov had a two-run single to
tie it.
Texas had the tying run on
base in the ninth after pinch hit
ter Tony Vasut walked with one
out. But Gaiko (3-0) retired Jeff
Conway on a grounder to third
and got Heinrich on a called
third strike.

only thing that is different is the
simple difference in level of com
petition and the way that you go
about winning games."
Knoblauch sees the current Ag
gie situation as a way to prove
what kind of a team they really
are.
"Anything's possible,"
Knoblauch said. "In any event, it's
a chance to see what they're made
of now. They are great competi
tors, and they know that their
backs are against the wall.
"With the pitching they have
and their ability to score runs, it
can be done," he said. "Anything
can happen."
Unfortunately, the Aggies were
knocked off by Long Beach State
on Tuesday, 6-2, but Knoblauch
said he believes that the impor
tance of A&M reaching the Col
lege World Series will have a
long-term effect.
"Now that they've made it,
they'll be a household name like
Texas, Oklahoma State, Wichita
State and Arizona State," he said.
"Now that they have made it over
the hump, I think that they'll be
there for the years to come."
Knoblauch said he wouldn't
trade his World Series victory for
a National Championship, but he
does wish he could have had the
chance to play in the biggest game
on the collegiate level.
Knoblauch turns a double play against TCU at Olsen Field on April 22, 1989.

"I regret not playing there
(Omaha), but I wouldn't trade it
for the win in 1991," he said.
"Had I not experienced the Major
League World Series, I might
have a different view, but that is
the top game at this level which is
as high as you can go."
Knoblauch has seen success at
all levels, but he warns that the
jump to the next level is a totally
different experience.
"A&M has got a great pro
gram," he said. "If the guys don't
know how good they've got it
now, they need to appreciate it
while they have it because once
they leave there, you can't go
back."
Now that the Aggies have fin
ished their 1993 campaign, many
of the key players of this year's
cast will not be returning.
Knoblauch has some advice for
those who are leaving this year
and for years to come.
"You can go back and visit, bu
you can't go back and put on the
A&M uniform," Knoblauch said.
"It's something I know a lot of
guys, including myself, miss play-1

ballplayers or highly specialized
adventurers such as rock
climbers engaging in their per
spective endeavor and then cele
brating their accomplishments by
drinking?
We have grown accustom to
alcohol consumption as a cele
bration of physical prowess. Af
ter a softball game the first ques
tion asked is who's going to get a
beer. This isn't a bad thing in it
self; but what about the boy play
ing Little League baseball who
watches televised sports in hopes
of learning something about be
ing a better ballplayer. First, he
hears adults around him talking
about grabbing a beer as a re
ward for playing hard, then he
sees this idea reinforced by slick
ads during a televised game. At
what point in his athletic career
does he equate alcohol with be
ing a good ballplayer? It's a
valid question and one that a lot
of athletes have dealt with.
This strategy isn't limited to
sports audience alone. Beer com
mercials advertise their product
as necessary to social acceptance
in the adult world. Adolescents
see athletes and physically attrac
tive people drinking with their
friends laughing, successful and
happy. It seems like the perfect
scene to a gangly child with acne.
The sexual connotation isn't
lost on young people either.
Boys are seeing a relationship be
tween drinking a certain brand of
beer and how much attention
they will get from lightly-clad,
seductive-looking women.
Young women are learning that
it is perfectly fine to wear a skin
tight dress that stops at the top of
the thigh. Would you feel like
your future daughter was safe
going to the Dixie Chicken
dressed like that?
Beer commercials depict
women as objects to be obtained
through the use of their product.
Should it be normal for adoles
cent girls to believe that there is
absolutely nothing wrong with
being only the object of sexual
fulfillment?
The beer industry uses sports
to sell their product and it is in
their best interest to ensure a fu
ture market. If you create the im
age that your product is a part of
being not only a great athlete but
socially acceptable, then you
have ensured a future market.
There is nothing wrong with
drinking in moderation. But, us
ing sports to influence the deci
sion to drink degrades the whole
idea of being an athlete. It takes
more than alcohol to be a good
athlete, we all know that. The
next time you're watching the
game with your kid brother or
sister make sure they know it,
too.
