By the way BHildreth3, good luck to your son on his baseball visit this weekend

[Original48]

Max Hildreth will be taking an official this weekend. Born and raised in North Carolina but loves the Bulldogs. Been coming to campus since he was 3. '18 prospect, has some work to do, but really glad to see him get a look for the school he loves.

Well I guess we will definitely know who the coach is then. I hope everything goes great. I would love just to even take batting practice at the Dude much less have a chance to put on the uni.

BHildreth was as smooth a SS as you could ever want. Loved watching him glide across the diamond and fire a rocket to first. Have only had a couple or three since that could match his standard.

Hey guys - i'm not THE BRAD HILDRETH, he was just my favorite player on my favorite team - 1989 Diamond Dawgs. My goodness that 89 team was legit. That was the team that should have won a Natty.

hey old timers, do you guys remember trying to get these cards signed?

I knew you weren't, just thought I would take advantage of the timing. Plus if you were you would be BHildreth4.

That team, the 2013 team, the 1990 team, and the 1985 team all should have been national champions, IMO.

Lol I got that whole set! Great team! I played baseball with Jody Hurst growing up and was hoping he was gonna get that cws championship!

1985 is the only one you can say definitely, IMO. Nobody could beat 2013 UCLA, and 1990 got out-classed in Omaha. You could make the argument for 1989 I guess.

I went to every game of that regional. Sucked we couldn't close the deal. Bobby Reed had a ton of heart.

I still have Hildreth's cap I stole off the top of the dugout my freshman year. He was a Pike and when I went thru rush he was the guy that talked to me, and was a quiet, nice, sincere guy. I pledged elsewhere but I liked him, that's why I drunkenly stole his cap as a joke. We sat there and laughed as he looked for it when State took the field next inning. Always meant to give it back to him but never got around to it.
