Butch Harris???

I remember the name Butch Harris, I think he came out of Oklahoma, and he could hit like a blind mule.

Anybody have a photo they could post? I can't seem to picture him...Did he play after his time at UL?

He had a 20 game hitting streak in 1989
Leading hitter for UL in 1990

I think Xavier Alexander is now second or tied for second on that list. Robe did eveyrhing in his power to stop X from breaking the record this year. I don't know how X kept the steak alive getting key hits during a stretch when he only was given a one pinch hit at bat.

I say you are correct, Turbine. Why would Turner make such an accusation?

Re: Butch Harris???

Paradigm? Accusation? I didn't say he made the wrong move I meant he was not interested in keeping the streak alive! One measly at bat in several games shows Robe had bigger fish to fry. That was in his power.

Yes, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma if I remember correctly. "Speed and Agility" was the cry from the crowd announcer sitting behind home plate every time Butch landed himself at first base.

I remember Butch hitting a line drive so hard one time he put the Prairie View A&M pitcher in the hospital (off the forehead).

Re: Butch Harris???

X had a 21 game streak this year. I almost positive Robe wasn't aware of the streak when he pinch hit X in the 8th or 9th inning in a game we were winning by a large amount in Florida (FAU or FIU, not sure which). Maybe BOP could clarify.
