Fall World Series Rosters

It’s been a busy week around campus for the Rams. The Rams have been competing against other Angelo State athletic teams this week in a penny war. All of the teams have been on campus raising money to be donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. There is a lot of speculation as to which team will raise the most as many teams are waiting to turn in their donations at the last minute, but I would venture to say that your Ram Baseball team is out to an early lead. The fierce competition ends this Friday so that the money can be counted and a presentation of the funds can be made at halftime of the Homecoming football game against Abilene Christian. Regardless of the outcome, every team is a winner for helping such a noble cause. I would also like to thank the students of Angelo State who have so graciously donated throughout this competition.

This week also marks the conclusion of the fall intra-squad games. Intra-squads have been a great way for the coaching staff to evaluate players as well as provide instruction during the fall. In the coming days however, the Rams will have a chance to show off their recently honed skills in the Fall World Series.

The Fall World Series is a lot of fun for all of the players. It’s a time where the roster is split in half and the players get to play for pride points and bragging rights throughout the entire year. At the end of it all, both teams are still Rams and we will sit down and have a team dinner to rehash the week’s events.

This year’s teams are captained by both student assistants, Trey Carter and Michael Gunter. Both coaches sat down in the baseball office and had a draft to establish the teams for this week. Coach Brooks presided over the draft and will continue his duties at the games, as the World Series Commissioner.

The Series will be a best-of-five game series, although all five games will be played. All games will be played at Foster Field. The Schedule for these games is as follows:

Thursday October 8, 2009 – Game 1
Friday October 9, 2009 - Game 2
Tuesday October 13, 2009 – Game 3
Thursday October 15, 2009 – Game 4
