Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"I accept my role whatever it is. Early in the year I was just pinch-hitting and I took it as an opportunity to help my career down the road. If you're known as a good pinch-hitter, you're valuable and they'll slip you in there whenever they can to give somebody a break. Then lately, the next thing I knew I'm in the lineup more. The hardest part is coming to the ballpark and not knowing if your name will be on the lineup. Last year, I knew every day I'd be in the lineup." - Dellucci, David. The Baton Rouge Advocate. 24 July 1999.

Ole Miss

Forward, Rebels, march to fame,
Hit that line and win this game
We know that you'll fight it through,
For your colors red and blue.
Rah, rah, rah!
Rebels you are the Southland's pride,
Take that ball and hit your stride,
Don't stop till the victory's won
for your Ole Miss.
Fight, fight for your Ole Miss!
