1997 LCM vs Nederland Vincent Beck's largest crowd

[adminbaberuth]

Nederland won this classic 1-0 in front of 4,800 fans. Jesse Floyd and Beau Hale in a pitching classic.

Here is the 1st inning of this gem.

4800 official paid attendance!  Here is the "rest of the story".

The line was still so long to get in, Lamar opened the gate behind the bleachers and several hundred poured in this gate during the second and third innings and were not included in that count.

It was and is still the largest high school baseball crowd in SETX Baseball history.

Unofficial estimated crowd, paid and unpaid, 5700.

Does anyone know the attendance from LU vs UT on March 22, 1992? I remember that game being packed as well.  Going way back..... I remember watching "the San Diego Chicken" at Vincent Beck when the Gators were here and the stands were full then also.

I tried to research it to no luck.  Just curious.

Looking at the video is that Coach Landry from BC batting in the third spot with the number 17 on the Nederland team?

In that game with the San Diego Chicken, they actually had roped of areas in the field of play.  I have pictures of the Chicken, with fans, in a roped off area along the right field wall...... we were standing in that right field area........lol.....take'en me way back......lol

Lets see 97, could it have been Beau Hale on the mound (11th rd pk for the Yankees) Jessie Floyd (another prospect) yes on Chad Landry. I don't think there has EVER been a stronger rivalry between 2 schools in them few yrs...
