It’s interesting that he played baseball at Baylor back in the late 60s, and then headed his university for so many years. Life turned out to be long, I had time both on the field and in the office. Eternal memory.

Interesting that he played baseball at Baylor in the late 1960s and later became president of a Christian university. 77 years is a long life in which he was able to do both. May he rest in peace.
