Chuck McGuire, one of the greatest pitchers in school history, dominated the mound for the Maroon & White from 1962-64. He ended his career with the lowest ERA in program annals (2.00) and led his team in wins, innings pitched and complete games for three-straight years. McGuire was a three-time All-SWC selection and was just the sixth Aggie to accomplish the feat as his collegiate career came to a close.
The Dallas native helped lead the Aggies to the 1964 SWC title and an appearance at the 1964 College World Series. During the 1964 conference slate, McGuire won four games and put together a 1.97 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 50.1 innings of work. McGuire was brought in to close out the SWC Championship game versus Texas. He had a three-run cushion heading into the bottom of the ninth and sat down the Longhorns in order to clinch the program’s first conference title since 1959.
McGuire was a workhorse on the mound for the Maroon & White during his time in Aggieland. He turned down an opportunity at professional baseball for a career in law. Following his playing days at A&M, McGuire practiced law in the Dallas area for much of his life and passed away on Feb. 2, 2019, his 77th birthday.
