A couple of items to add....A client of mine actually was at Oxy with Barry Obama, as he was known at the time....She told me the guy was at the top of his class....Good job by LTB who gave our Aztectalk story to Mark Zieglar of the UT...Sure enough, the story is in the paper this morning about Ty Cobb...Love it, and can't wait for him to enter the game today.

Cool story. Shoulda brought the Tony Gwynn angle into it, IMO. That's a pretty cool connection: basketball, baseball, SDSU, Hall of Fame, a couple of the best hitters of all time, etc., etc. Kudos to smoketree for spotting this. Ziegler e-mailed me that he'd seen Cobb's name while covering the Tostitos/Oxy game at the beginning of the season. He'd wondered if there were a connection, but never followed up on it. AztecMesa flexes its muscle once again. www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/dec/30/ty-cobb-represents-famous-baseball-family-court/

Thanks LTB....Funny thing was, I was simply researching their team as i always like to do before we play....I noticed his name and posted it thinking he just might possibly be related....LTB did the dirty work though and discovered the relationship...Should make more some extra excitement today when he enters the game....Perhaps Gwynn will be in attendance, who knows?
