Prior to Keith Moreland‘s 12-year MLB playing career that included a stint with the Chicago Cubs, he played for the University of Texas. During his college career, he racked up quite the list of accomplishments while holding down the hot corner for the Longhorns. He was a three-time All American, led the team to three College World Series berths, was co-captain of the Longhorns’ 1973 National Championship Team, and batted .410 over a 62-game season in 1975.
After his college playing days were over, the Philadelphia Phillies drafted Moreland in the seventh round of the 1975 MLB draft.
