I may be wrong, but I think they lived across the street from the superette in town and country at one point.

Can still see that big SoB on the mound and his windup! Nolan Ryan had nothing on Stites as a 12 year old!

They kept the neighborhood under control from the Amoses and Peanut Carson.

Everyone has a purpose.

And a super nice guy. So was his dad.

I was from Swartz, not T&C, met all these guys from summer baseball. Colorful characters to say the least.

T&C was loaded with athletes. I was not one of them but it seemed like everyone could swing a bat, catch a football or become an LSU basketball legend or NFL quarterback.

Yeah. We always said it was the culture. Coach Watson and others set the tone for you guys.

Rope climbing and pegboard...

If you got an A in PE from Watson you were a damn near perfect human specimen.

I have vivid memories from everyone throwing up in front of those concrete bunker water fountains at Jack Hayes after running Watsons "obstacle course"
