Baseball is in the air.

I love baseball. In fact, I played it since I was 7-years old, and got as far as a Red Shirt in college. My son plays in Padre Little League as a catcher, and he makes me proud! Our Double A Texas League baseball team, the Corpus Christi Hooks, begin their 2011 schedule in a couple of months as well. In the meantime, Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi will stay busy with its most ambitious slate of amateur games ever, including the First Kleberg Bank College Classic February 25-27 and sixth-ranked Texas vs. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Tuesday, April 5 at 6 o'clock. No. 9 UConn, Indiana, Oregon State and the host Islanders comprise the Kleberg Bank College Classic field. Tournament tickets and packages and tickets for Longhorns-Islanders go on sale Friday, February 4 at the Whataburger Field Box Office and cchooks.com To purchase tickets via phone, call 361-561-HOOK.
