On a cold Thanksgiving morning in Granbury, Texas, some lost a father, some lost a mentor, some lost a friend and others all of those at once. But for Arlington, the death of Marvin “Butch” McBroom, 78, meant the loss of a UTA baseball pioneer.
Between 1974 and 1999, McBroom became the program’s all-time winningest head coach, claiming 756 victories and growing the program into what it is today.
