If you are on OB and especially if you follow Texas Baseball like a lot of us you already know about the great coverage he provides.
How he posts each Pitcher vs Batter Duel and play by play so quickly is beyond me - has to have some type of speed-typing records somewhere.
The Instant Analysis and his weekly interview with Coach Schloss make OB's coverage of the Number One Ranked Longhorns second to none.
What you may or may not know about him is that he is also a great human being.
I've been wanting to take my dad who is just a couple of years shy of the Century Mark to a baseball game while he's still fully mobile.
I chose last night's game since it was on a Tuesday evening and against Prairie View would not be as crowded compared to weekend games as the last thing I need is for my dad to get knocked down in a crowd.
That being said, I'm always reading about the parking nightmare at Disch Falk Field.
Thus, I sent a DM to Zach asking his advice where it was best to park, or the best place to drop my dad off with my friend while I parked the car thinking if anyone might know it would be him. My dad is still active though really-long walks can get tiresome at his age.
Zach replies not with advice on how to navigate the above - he does something a thousand times better.
He tells me to send him my phone number and he'll text over his parking pass for the game that is in the East Garage right in front of the stadium.
There is not a better parking spot you can get for Disch-Falk.
Here's what makes it even more impressive -
I've never met Zach, other than posting in his columns, and he just selflessly gives up his pass to help with my dad.
@Ketchum you hired a great reporter and an awesome individual!
@ZachattheDisch as I told you in the DM thanks a million and my dad said thanks for the VIP parking spot!
BTW I hope your selfless action didn't cause you to have to park too far away.
Me and @jbgomes had a great time at the game with my dad - hope we can catch more in the future though at his age you never know and thus enjoy the moment while he's still around.
@ZachattheDisch made a memorable night even better!
Things like what Zach did make this board more than a sports message board - it's a community.
Thanks & Hook 'Em!
