A New Feel to Rivalry
Clemson and South Carolina will renew their baseball rivalry this weekend, but it will have a completely different feel. For the first time since 1993, the games will not feature either Jack Leggett in the Clemson dugout and/or Ray Tanner in the South Carolina dugout.
Tanner led the Gamecock program for 16 years. He had epic battles in Columbia, Clemson, Greenville and Omaha against Clemson and seemed to embrace the rivalry.
Leggett was at Clemson for 22 seasons and the sight of South Carolina fueled his emotions as well.
