Nebraska baseball coach Darin Erstad never played at Bricktown Ballpark, either as a collegiate player or professional.
However, his volunteer assistant coach, Curtis Ledbetter, has. And Erstad earlier this week overhead Ledbetter, a former Husker, telling some current Nebraska players about his fond memories of playing in downtown Oklahoma City.
Good times, that place has produced for Nebraska, and its droves of fans.
When Ledbetter was a senior, in 2005, the Huskers won their final of four Big 12 Tournament championships at Bricktown, which still hosts the annual tournament for Nebraska’s former conference.
