Quotes & Notes: Free Tex & Cool Max

■ In response to a question asked on one of the message boards, I checked with Josh Murray of the MU Media Relations office and learned that MU Baseball broadcasts by KTGR will once again be streamed FREE online in 2009.

■ Max Scherzer (04-06) was the star of the show at the Arizona Diamondbacks' Hometown Tour stop in Show Low High School in Arizona, according to the White Mountain Independent:

This was actually Scherzer's second trip around the state on the Home Town Tour, which gives fans of all ages across the state a chance to mingle and get autographs with their heroes. Scherzer said interacting with the youngsters is what makes these events fun. "It's great because you get to come out here and really see fans that are growing up as Diamondbacks' fans," Scherzer said. "That's special to see because they watch you on TV and they really look up to us and to go and shake their hands and go to their schools and really get to have an effect on their lives, it's a really cool moment for me."

An interesting coincidence: Show Low is the High School that boast another MU alum now in the major leagues: Doug Mathis (05)
