Head Coach-Augie Garrido University of Texas Picture provided by Donald J Boyles
Augie Garrido, who has won 1,668 games which is the most in NCAA Division I baseball history will be among the inductees into the Men’s Longhorn Hall of Honor, the school announced this past week.
Garrido is the all-time wins leader in NCAA Division I history. He has led the Longhorns to two NCAA College World Series Championships and nine straight trips to the NCAA playoffs. Since 2000, his teams have claimed two national titles, finished second twice and third once in five trips to Omaha. In addition to his two national crowns in Austin, Garrido skippered Cal State Fullerton to College World Series titles in 1979, 1984 and 1995. In 2008, he joined Jim Morris in becoming only the second coach to ever win 500 or more games at two different Division I schools with 929 at Cal State Fullerton and 517 at Texas. Garrido has earned National Coach of the Year honors on six occasions, including twice at Texas (2002, 2005).
The inductees will be honored at a banquet in Austin on Nov. 7 and will be enshrined during ceremonies the next day at the Texas-Baylor football game.
