Aggie pitchers have thrown
four no-hitters at Olsen Field, in
cluding one by Thurmond in the
inaugural season of Olsen Field
in 1978. A more recent memo
rable performance came from
Granger, now a minor-leaguer
with the Kansas City Royals,
when he struck out 21 batters
against Lubbock Christian in
1993, his All-American season.
Despite the many impressive
pitching performances the Ag
gies have compiled over the
years, Johnson, who has been
A&M’s head coach since 1985,
said his favorite Olsen Field
memory came courtesy of one of
the Aggies’ best hitters.
“John Byington hitting two
home runs in the bottom of the
ninth against Texas in 1989 to
win both games was amazing,”
Johnson said. “That ’89 team
had some unbelievable come
backs and thrilling moments.”
The Aggies won the two
games 18-14 and 8-5, after the
Longhorns had taken the first
game of the series and broken
A&M’s 28-game home-winning
streak that season. Byington
would go on to hit .442 that sea
son, the second-highest average
ever at A&M, and drive in a
school-record 89 runs.
Led by Byington and current-
Minnesota Twin in Knoblauch,
the 1989 Aggies defeated Texas
twice in the SWC Tournament
at Olsen Field to host the Cen
tral Regional. They then lost to
Louisiana State 5-4 in the
championship game to fall a
game short of the College
World Series.
Along with Knoblauch, such
future stars as Roger Clemens,
Doug Drabek and saw action at
Olsen Field while in college.
Johnson said the best thing
about Olsen Field is that it keeps
the players coming to A&M.
“Recruiting has been our key
to success,” Johnson said. “We
have a good product to sell. We
can point out A&M’s academics,
tradition and loyalty, and we
have a great facility.”
Magic may rejoin Laker:
□ The three-time MVP
said Los Angeles has
asked him to return.
LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) —
The Los Angeles Lakers want
Magic Johnson back, and John
son may be interested.
“The Lakers have asked me to
return,” he said in Tuesday’s
editions of The Honolulu Adver
tiser. “We’re talking about it, so
we have to see what happens.
It’s nothing that’s definite yet.”
Johnson has previously hint
ed he may want to rejoin the
NBA, but this is believed to be
the first time the Lakers have
publicly said they are consider
ing such a move.
The Los Angeles Lakers
great, now part-owner of the
NBA team, twice retired since
announcing in 1992 he has the
AIDS virus.
Johnson ended a comeback
bid after some players said they
were worried about possibly con
tracting the virus should he spill
blood while on the court.
Johnson, who turns 36 next
month, was in Maui for his am j
al fantasy camp, along with L ,
ers general manager Jerry We?
West, who also spoke with .
Honolulu Star-Bulletin oft

tempted a comeback.
“I think the decision hem:
four years ago to retire

West said. ‘‘Now there’s!
much more information
health concerns that I think,
easier for him to make a dj
sion today.’
The Lakers will hold thA
training camp in Hawaii T
fall, if the lockout ends.
Until then, the Lakers woqI
be barred from signing John?.
to a player contract. Johnson ?

GEORGANDIS: Off-the-field troubles doom superstar
Continued from Page 3
That season, Cedeno showed
how much he had learned, lead
ing the league again in doubles,
bashing 22 home runs, stealing
56 bases and compiling a .320
batting average. His .537 slug
ging percentage (the measure of
a player’s extra base hit
prowess), remained an Astro
record until Jeff Bagwell broke it
in 1994.
He became the first player in
major league history to hit 20
home runs and steal 50 bases in
the same season. He would du
plicate that feat in each of the
next two seasons. The Astros
had their best season to date in
1972, going 84-69 and taking
second place in the NL West.
During his breakout season,
Cedeno began to draw compar
isons to Willie Mays and Rober
to Clemente. The scouts said he
had tremendous all-around
skills. He was equally talented
at hitting the ball, running the
bases and making the plays in
the field.
But the off-season of 1973 was
not kind to Cedeno. Although he
was not convicted, he was impli
cated in the murder of a young
girl in his home country. In in
terviews in later years, former
teammates said they noticed
changes in Cedeno; he had diffi
culty concentrating and didn’t
work as hard in practice.
Although he still put up
gaudy numbers in 1974, it was
noticeable that Cedeno’s game
had slipped. His average dropped
50 points to .269, and he didn’t
hit over .300 again until 1980.
The Astros stuck with Cedeno
throughout the ’70s, adding fine
outfielders Jose Cruz and Terry
Puhl around him to pick up the
offensive slack.
Cedeno did hit .309 in 1980
and stole 48 bases as the Astros
won their first divisional crown.
But his production had
slipped drastically since those
first wonderful four years. He
never reached 20 home runs
again in a season, and was of
ten injured during crucial times
in the season.
Matters worsened for Cedeno
in 1981 when he went into the
crowd at St. Louis’ Busch Stadi-
um to fight a fan (seems to be a
trend for Houston sports figures).
The Astros released Cedeno after
the regular season.
He was picked up by the
Cincinnati Reds and played
parts of four seasons with them,
then played the tail-end of the
1985 season for the Cardinals.
He played in his first World Se
ries in 1985, but the Cardinals
lost to the Royals in seven
games, and Cedeno hit just .133.
He played 37 games with the
Los Angeles Dodgers in 1986,
was released by the organization
and decided to retire. He was 35
years old. He tried out with the
Astros again in 1990, but was
cut. Despite his troubles, Cedeno
remains 21st on the all-time
stolen base list with 550, and has
a .285 lifetime batting average.
Perhaps the most telling
thing about Cesar Cedeno is
where he falls in the all-time, |
major league player registrar
Cedeno’s story is similar to
another former Astro, Andujai
Cedeno (no relation). A.C., wh
was traded to the San Diego
Padres during last off-season,? ;
buted with Houston at age 21, ;
The young shortstop was said?'
possess all the tools, but also '
seemed to lack a solid work etH
He made tremendous play j
at shortstop, but also ridicu '
lous errors. He hit home mn:
farther into the Dome’s
stratosphere than any one
shortstop before him, but he
also struck out way too often
be an effective hitter.
The Astros stayed with An
dujar for just three seasons be
fore giving up and trading hk
Perhaps if Houston had tried
the same thing with Cesar, in
stead of ignoring his problems,
both sides could have avoided:
lot of pain.
