Frost extended his hitting streak to 20 games today. Anyone know what the school record is?

I do not see it listed in the media guide.

I found a 23 game single-season streak Doug Gann 3/9-4/21/91. Don't know if it is still the longest http://www.uabsports.com/sports/m-basebl...01aaa.html

I didn't see one in the media guide either. Should we say it's 23? Lol

If I had to guess, if it was broken it would be by Nick Crawford or Stuart Thompson.

Interesting tidbit I found while hunting. The single season batting average is held by Hector Villanueva at .476.

Below are the most hits in a career.

HITS
1. Shayne Carnes . 306 (1995-98)
2. Kristin Metheny. 295 (1989-92)
3. Jonathan Merritt . 263 (2007-10)
4. Nick Crawford. 245 (2008-11)
Brian Jersey. 245 (1993-96)
6. Stuart Thompson. 243 (1990-93)
7. Phil Bell. 223 (2005-08)
8. Mitch Jones. 220 (2000-03)
9. Jamal Austin. 209 (2009-11)
10 Jonny Morgan. 205 (1983-86)

There's no telling

Shayne Carnes is now the Mortimer Jordan High School baseball coach.

Unfortunately, the only two 'likes' on his Facebook page related to college sports are Nick Saban and the University of Alabama. Let that sink in for a minute. The all-time career hits leader at UAB -- the Steve Mitchell of UAB baseball -- 'likes' the University of Alabama but not his own school. Disappointing.

Wow

And I did not know that either.

There was a family in church that I knew growing up that I have been following on facebook.

Well there are about 15 or so of them in the family now & they decided to all put on their gump gear for a family photo.

Now I am all for showing support for your school as I do UAB, but sometimes, just sometimes, you may be going way too overboard with things.

Yes, my life does revolve around something other than just UAB.
