BASEBALL Creeping towards respectability would have been an adequate slogan for the 1977 baseball team. After a few years of dismal losing seasons last years squad finished with a respectable 19-17 overall record. Impressive wins over teams such as Duke, North Carolina, Atlantic Christian and Virginia State highlighted the season. A narrow loss to Atlantic Christian in the District Tournament prevented any post-season play. But the fans don ' t remember the losses. All they remember is how hard it was to stay warm in the bleachers on those cold March and April nights. They remember Coach Black ' s tireless and unwavering support as he bicycled through the stands, throwing out bubble gum. They remember the Saturdays spent at the diamond for lack of anything better to do. Armed with cold drink and popcorn, they remember the sun beating down and the umpire ' s bad calls (only the bad one ' s stand out.) The umpire was the math teacher that gave you a test, the counselor that flunked you in room check, and the security officer that gave you a ticket all rolled up into one. So you gave him grief, much grief. That ' s what you remember most about baseball.
