3,000 Wins

Sunday's win against St. John's was the 3,000th in Texas Longhorn baseball history, which stretches back to 1894 (or so says Wikipedia). That is ten wins per Spartan. Not to shabby actually, even though we lost to Rice later in the day. Couple that with Russell's record breaking home runs (Jeff Ontiveros we hardly knew ye), and the fact that a couple of weeks ago we didn't know if we were going to make the field, and it was a good showing for a young team, even though we only scored 4 runs against Rice when they gave us 6 errors.

Texas actually ranks second all time in collegiate baseball wins behind... wait for it...

wait for it...

Fordham which has a mind boggling 4,152 wins (by my math) in 148(!) seasons.

Record Books

Is there a good record book for college baseball?

I know the NCAA general record book for football is really nice, just couldn’t find one like that for baseball.

Fordham

4152 wins? Big deal. How many championships do they have? ZERO. I’ll take our 6 national championships over their wins any day.

I also heard/read something cool the other day: Augie has more victories than any other college coach in history, any sport. Can’t remember where the stat came from, though.
