Legendary Texas baseball coach Augie Garrido passed away early Thursday morning at the age of 79.
In his 48 years of coaching, Garrido accumulated 1,975 wins, which ranks first all-time in college baseball history. He also won five National Championships in his career. Two of those titles came with the Longhorns.
