I wonder who will end up getting his name.

 

[TopFrog]

I don't know why he didn't play more. He could make things happen.

He got hurt a lot.

rumor is it was that or take the early retirement package offered to him

 

[neutral observer]

Was hoping to see him as a fixture in left field/designated hitter roles.

 

[MadFrog]

I think he should have had more playing time. We wasted so many games playing guys in left field with NO chance of getting a hit, while Brown sat on the bench with a real chance of hitting. He proved it over the years. He had a great Big 12 Tourney in 2021 and had several big hits over the years. 10 RBIs in one game! Come on coach. I wish him well and hope he does not land at a conference opponent.

Stupid question.

I wish Porter had started much more and always wondered why he didn't. My only theory was that his studies kept him away from practice until the semester came to an end. That was always when he caught fire

Because I remember reading an article written during Black History Month about the black "pioneers" in TCU sports programs. The "firsts" in track and basketball were mentioned, along with former and current black athletes on TCU basketball, football, and track teams.

Baseball wasn't mentioned. Just curious where Porter Brown fits in--the first, or one of many.

Note: The article was written by a "Killerfrogs" specialist.

Landestoy is Dominican

"Afro-Dominicans (also referred sometimes as African-Dominicans or Black Dominicans) are Dominicans of predominant West and Central African ancestry. They represent 15.8% of the Dominican Republic's population according to 2014 estimates."

Ok? I’ve been around Mike and have never heard him or his friends refer to him as black.

 

[Realtorfrog]

Hate to see this! He was the catalyst for so many big innings and wins! Best of luck wherever you end up.
