Last night ,on Sportstalk , Kornblute had an extensive interview with Jack Leggett . During the interview,
Leggett said he had heard from over 500 people in the last few days. Kornblute said he assumed some
of those 500 were from U.S.C. After an awkward silence, Leggett said that he had NOT heard from any
of the U.S.C. people.
There is a legitimate reason for this. Jack Leggett accused Ray Tanner, Jackie Bradley and the University
of South Carolina of outright cheating. A claim he was unable to prove. Yes, I know that he later offered
an apology, but this was too little and too late. I know one thing, I would have loved to be privy to the first
private conversation between Tanner and Laggett after the " Hot Bat " incident.
One other thing , I have followed Carolina since I was 10 years old. At 72, that means I have seen a lot of
good and a lot of bad. One of the best things I got to enjoy was the baseball teams of Ray Tanner. I was
fortunate to be in Omaha when he led us to the national championship.
He has been a " Class Act " both on and off the field. In victory and in defeat, he always paid the opposing
teams compliments.
The following is for Gamecock AND tiger fans.How many times have you ever heard Leggett say anything
good about a team he either beat or lost to ? I watched Clemson baseball a lot, always read any write-up
on them and I can not recall one single time that Leggett was complimentary. So, I understand the lack of
concern for Leggett by the folks at U.S.C.
