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?

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.Originally Posted by Pirogue
I have a slightly different paradigm.Originally Posted by Turner
I woud say coach Robichaux did eveyrhing in his power TO WIN.

I say you are correct, Turbine. Why would Turner make such an accusation?Originally Posted by Turbine
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.
No "I" in team.Originally Posted by Turner
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.Originally Posted by Cajun_Ragin
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).

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.
