Let's Gio Babe! The Varsity Baseball team was a young talented team with lots of promise. They were coached this year by Joe Ballard and Bob Beran. The team started out their season with a 5-4 record in non-league play. The pitching staff was the best Blair has ever had. Seniors Steve Link and Andrew Moreno won games for Blair along with Juniors Andy Price and Errol the pearl Colin. Co-captain Dan Mclnerny led the team in FiBl's and was also an outstanding centerfielder. Along with Dan were co-captain Dave Pruett ileft fieldl and Eddie Bustos fright fieldl both excellent fielders and batters. The infield players were Junior Brian Biery ifirst basei, and So- phomores Steve Castanon tsecond basei, Gabriel Sauri ishortstopi, and Manny Almeida tthird basei. All four had high batting averages. Terrill Korner was the catcher for the Viking team. Seniors Terry Triplett and Mark Johnston aided the team with hitting and fielding.

New Coaches, New Tactics ABOVE: FRONT ROW: Richard Kane, Danny Robinson, Marty Garcia, Kenny Williams, Herb Weaver, Steve Scharre, Bobby Mitchell. SECOND ROW: Coach Fred Esquivel, Robert Blessing, William Robinson, Tracy Tincher, Dale Uchida, John Fernandez, Gilbert Rivera, Luiz Dufau, Martin Page, Dave Borrego. BACK ROW: Eddie Seeker, Gary Stewart, Ricardo Gonzalez, Rodney Cox, Sam Mit- chell, Steve Williams, Ross Carter, Michael Bowden. With practices shortened by darkness and rain, the Junior Varsi- ty Baseball team, under the direc- tion of Coach Luis Brambila, exper- ienced a frustrating season. Start- ing pre-league with wins over PHS and South Pasadena, the Vikings fell in four of their remaining six games. The team entered league competition with a 4-5 record. Finding the league games much tougher, the JV's lost five of their first six league matches, managing a tie with Burroughs. Although the morale of the players became low, they constantly played the last few innings loose and easy to keep the spirit of a possible win alive. Ralph Crossland, Dwayne Ellis, and Rene Perez were strong contributors to the teams' efforts. Dwayne had the best batting average and Chris Cruz struck out only twice in over 14 games. The Frosh-Soph Baseball team was highly rated by Coach Omer Plante. With Steve Williams, Eddie Seeker, and Marty Garcia as the most consistent players, the team, as a member of the Rio Hondo League, played excellent baseball. In pre-league, the team record was 1-4 but by the time league action began, the Frosh-Soph squad had gained valuable experience and went on to win three of their first four league games.
