Question for the Frog baseball fans

[2314@work]

I recall a very thin Frog relief pitcher from early 80s with long, stringy blonde hair that everyone called "Killer."
Does anyone recall his name?

The only one I can think of is Travis Barr, 1989-1991. Believe he is the all-time saves leader.

Last name is Strickland. Can't think of his first name.

I might have an alumni list at home ... I'll check if Leap or someone else doesn't reply or know by then.

He wasn't killer, he was the broom. And it was because he was a stick with short blond hair that stuck straight up. Gotta be someone earlier.

Never heard anybody call Travis "the broom". I do know that his nickname was NOT "killer". He was the opposite of "killer".

Nope! Mark Strickland, '82-'83-'84 and '85.

Leap! Top said you would know.
Aledo's golf coach played with him and could not think of his name. He thanks you.

Leap is the TCU encyclopedia.

Aledo's golf coach played baseball at TCU? Who is it? Leap will likely remember him ...

Greg Nelson. Was also Aledo's head baseball coach for awhile. Our first conversation about us attending TCU at the same time came when I brought up the RA who died in Milton Daniel. Anyone remember that? I will never forget watching Mike Flynn throw up on the MD lawn after he kicked the door in and saw the decomposed body. Was living in MD that semester. The stench that morning went beyond the usual Milton Hilton stench.
