I t has been a long time
since the Texas A&M
baseball team has seen
times like these.
The Aggies have limped
out to a 14-15 record this
season,the latest in a sea
son the team has been be
low .500 since 1960. It was
also the last time A&M fin
ished a season below .500, when it had a record
of 5-17-1.
To put it in perspective, in 1960, Dwight Eisen
hower was president, the United States was en
gaged in The Cold War with the U.S.S.R. and the
current president. Bill Clinton, was only 13.
In other words, it has been a while since an
A&M baseball team has stumbled this badly in
a season.
A dropoff in production was expected this
year since eight key performers from last
year’s team that ended up in Omaha left the
team for minor league baseball.
But no one expected that the team would
struggle as much as it has.
One of the main culprits of the team’s strug
gles has been its hitting. As a team, the Aggies
are hitting a respectable .297, but because of
their youth and lack of experience, have failed to
come through with clutch hits in key situations.
The best example of the problems came in
last weekend’s Continental Classic. In a tour
nament that is designed to wear pitching staffs
thin, the Aggies hit a paltry .265 as they fin
ished in last place for the first time in the tour
nament’s history.
The slump got so bad, the team mustered
only eight hits in a doubleheader against Cen
tral Michigan and Ohio State.
A bright spot for A&M is that the losses in
the Continental Classic do not go against their
record in the Big 12 and as of right now — as
improbable as it seems — the Aggies are in the
thick of the race for first.
A&M is in a logjam with four other teams
for third place in the conference behind confer
ence leading Texas and second place Oklahoma.
With their next two series coming against
Kansas and Iowa State, the team has a chance
to get the ship pointed in the right direction.
But the true test of the season comes in
April when the schedule becomes downright
nasty.
Road series against Oklahoma State and Ne
braska and home series against Oklahoma and
Texas will decide the season for A&M.
If the Aggies weather the storm and become
more consistent in their hitting and continue to
have solid pitching, the season just might be
salvageable. If they don’t ... who knows where
they will end up.

Cowboys re-sign DE Spellman to one-year contract
IRVING (AP) — Unsure if Alonzo
Spellman had rid himself of the
demons which haunted him in the
past, the Dallas Cowboys signed the
veteran defensive tackle to a one-year
contract at the league minimum prior
to last season.
After a season in which Spellman
kept his composure off the field and
proved his worth on it, Dallas decided
Spellman was no longer a risk, signing
him to a multi-year contract Tuesday.
Temis of the deal were not released.
“I felt very fortunate [last year]
that we were getting Alonzo where we
weren't strapped into a long-term situ
ation because at that time we really
didn't know what to expect,” said
Cowboys coach Dave Campo. “We
were fortunate that he’s made the
progress that he has.”
Prior to signing with Dallas,
Spellman had been known as much
for his off-field antics as what he did
on the field.
Before he was released by Chica
go after the 1998 season, Spellman
had barricaded himself in his agent’s
house for eight hours, knocked down
a hospital door and fallen asleep in
his car while parked in the fast lane
of the freeway.
After his release, Spellman was
diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a
mental illness that leads to erratic be
havior and depression. Spellman
turned to Christianity and righted
himself last year.
Spellman’s serenity off the field
led to production on the field. He
came off the bench at the start of the
season, but was a starter by season’s
end and was praised by the Cowboys
coaching staff for getting better every
week.
Spellman had 16 tackles last sea
son, including five sacks.
“We were obviously pleased with
the contributions Alonzo Spellman
made last season,” said Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones. “We were very,
very pleased with how he played on
the field and with the way he served
as an inspiration to many of us person
ally and to the team.”
Spellman’s signing was the last
major piece in the Cowboys’ off
season goals.
Dallas is still searching for a back
up to quarterback Troy Aikman —
veteran Paul Justin is scheduled to
workout with the team Wednesday —
and cornerback Deion Sanders has a
foot out the door, but Campo said
Spellman’s signing puts the club in a
good position headed into the NFL
Draft next month.
“And now you go into the draft
with the feeling that there is nothing
so pressing that you have to make a
reach on,” Campo said. “You go in
with the idea that you have a chance
to just get someone that makes your
football team better.”
In addition to signing Spellman,
the Cowboys locked up safety
George Teague and offensive line
man Tony Hutson. They also brought
in wide receiver Joey Galloway, cor
nerback Ryan McNeil, defensive
tackle Dimitrius Underwood and
tight end Jackie Harris.
Jones would not say if the Cow
boys had to restructure any contracts to
re-sign Spellman, but did say the earli
er signings were made to leave enough
salary-cap room to land Spellman.
“I think it’s safe to say that we
wouldn’t have done anything this
year, as far as contracts are con
cerned, that would have kept us from
signing Alonzo,” Jones said. “I
would say that makes him a pretty
big priority. It is significant to us that
we got him signed.”
