ORIGINAL: djskillz Well, it helps to have Phil Knight in the alum crew, Murf. [:D] Baseball still astounds me. Don't have a team. Oregon State has success and wins a couple CWS Phil Knight: "We should get a team. Let's build a ridiculous stadium and hire one of the best coaches in the country." 2-3 years later; one of the best Crazy. Two things to add though, 1. They used to have a team, up until around 1981, and the lack of a baseball team had hurt them a few times in football recruiting for two sport guys. 2. Knight shelled out big donor bucks to keep Pat Casey at OSU. Just as he shelled out a lot of money to OSU in the past, as well as his two alma maters, Oregon and Stanford. Now, that being said, the new baseball stadium is pretty nice.
