COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Over 50 former players will return to the Texas A&M campus this weekend for the biennial Aggie Baseball Alumni Game on Saturday at 2 p.m. at Olsen Field. Admission is free and fans are encouraged to attend.
Festivities will get underway at 1:15 p.m. with the National Anthem, followed by the Aggie War Hymn, a highlight video and lineups and player recognition. The alumni game has been held every other fall since the inaugural event in 1992.
"This is a tremendous event, not only for our great fans, but for the players, staff and coaches involved with Aggie baseball both past and present," A&M head coach Rob Childress said. "This program has always been a family, and I think this event showcases that. We're all really looking forward to Saturday, and it's going to be a lot of fun."
The group of former players spans six decades and include former major leaguers Casey Fossum, Trey Moore, Ryan Rupe and Jason Tyner.
