Baseball season is upon us, barring any delays or interruptions by Covid19.



Two of the best to ever wear a Texas Longhorns baseball uniform entered the Man Cave. This was Greg Swindell's (Zeke)  second appearance, but first with Keith Moreland (Zonk).



Both Zeke and Zonk have had their jerseys retired at UT and both had storied careers in Major League Baseball and both are broadcasters for the ESPN family including The Longhorn Network.



The conversation began with their takes and opinions on the Texas Longhorns loaded roster and the prospects of UT returning to Omaha for the College World Series. 



Both Moreland and Swindell played for legendary Texas head baseball coach, Cliff Gustafson. Moreland played on three College World Series teams, winning it all in 1975. 

Swindell played on a pair of CWS teams in 1984 and 1985.



The stories from both are priceless, especially to those who are baseball purists and Texas Longhorn baseball fanatics. 



Moreland described what it was like playing at Disch-Falk Field's predecessor, Clark Field and it's unique limestone hill in the outfield, Billy Goat Hill. 



The subject of baseball's Hall of Fame not having any new inductees voted in this year and how the game can improve it's marketing and interest in American youth were discussed by these Longhorn legends.
