What a great message. Good of you to mentio...Jeff,<br /><br />What a great message. Good of you to mention Dwight Lowery. What a gentle giant and friendly man. I can think of a few others during your brother's time and before (my time, in fact)...<br /><br />How about Mark McKinnon? After hitting a grand slam in his first game as a Tar Heel and establishing himself in centerfield as a freshman, his skull collided with Roy Clark's knee and we almost lost him that night. His baseball skills were never the same, but his presence was a big part of the '78 team that made it to the CWS.<br /><br />Greg Norris, a first team All-American that year, seemingly won every game he pitched, and had an ERA around 0.98 or something. He pitched his dadgum heart out in the final game loss to Southern Cal when we lost 3-2 to the eventual national champion.<br /><br />Jimmy Atkinson who was ACC player of the year and got so many big hits I can't keep track of them all.<br /><br />Jimmy Rouse, our two-sport smooth swinging first baseman from Wilmington who would talk to ANYBODY who managed to get to first.<br /><br />Clay Johnson and Mike Fox, who decided to forgo their pledge of complete alcohol abstinence for one night after we beat Memphis State in the regionals to put us in Omaha.<br /><br />Blaine Smith, who cut through host Auburn's lineup like a heart surgeon in the regionals. And then won another brilliant game against St. John's in the CWS.<br /><br />Greg Robinson, who launched an 8th inning two-run homer off Steve Howe of Michigan to beat them 5-4...he was also the man who ran "pitcher's infield"<br /><br />I could go on and on (as if I haven't already)...<br /><br />Dave Kirk '78, '79, '80Dave Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609339188099576408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966731331228977121.post-31611451864188623592009-06-12T18:06:53.238-04:002009-06-12T18:06:53.238-04:00Eric sent it to me and I LOVED it too.

Last I saw him he was a broker in his hometown (Point Pleasant) and had a cute 4 year old girl. Ask Jedz if he remembers us sitting with Walt at a bar in Anaheim his rookie year. La Russa kept telling him "Don't ever change, Walter." I have followed your career and am proud of you. I see Kimball Crossley now and then out here -- we used to both coach hs hoops (more as a hobby) here in greater Phx. And I am dating a Carolina girl who I dated in 1983 and reconnected with on Facebook.

Of course, I remember you. You were also a Troll's guy, lik eme. And I actually did some WXYC sports work for you. Good to hear from you, thanks for reading the blog.<br /><br />JeffJeff Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15790521181773378986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966731331228977121.post-80511633899816598272009-06-12T16:51:19.035-04:002009-06-12T16:51:19.035-04:00Jeff - I don't know if you remember me, but Mi...Jeff - I don't know if you remember me, but Mike Schoor and I used to broadcast home games from the Bosh and the ACC tournament on WXYC, the UNC Campus radio station at the same time as you were there. I used to also sub for Sarge as the PA announcer at Boshamer (his "now batting, No. 9, the catcher, BEEE JAAAY SURHOFFFF" still runs through my head at times), especially on days when he had to go run the Training Table. That column brought back so many, many great memories. Thanks for that. <br /> <br />Eric K.
