My dad was an amazing man - honest, loyal, faithful and humble. Thank you God for the gift of my parents, who now are reunited in heaven. I told my dad last night, “if I had to do it all over again, I would choose you to be my dad.” He smiled and squeezed my hand.
Please pray Tod Masters, proud father of

It is funny. I didn’t hit many home runs, but I just timed them right. There is always a little extra adrenaline in the big games with the amazing home crowds at MSU!
On this day in 1989- An on-campus attendance record was set at Dudy Noble Field as 14,991 saw MSU win 2 games over
#11
Florida, 4-3 and 5-4. Burke Masters hit a walk-off HR in game 2.
On this day in 1990- Burke Masters went 6-6 and hit a go-ahead grand slam in the top of the ninth in MSU’s 11-8 win over Florida State in the Starkville Regional.
Had a great time at the new Dudy Noble last night. Spent about 4 innings on the radio with Jim and Jay. Big win for the Dawgs. Best stadium in college baseball!
We have some Diamond Dawg legends in the radio booth tonight!
Jim Ellis, Burke Masters and Jay Powell all on the radio waves for your listening pleasure.

1990 Starkville Regional
Mississippi State’s Burke Masters blasts a game-wining grand slam against FSU to put the Dawgs in the driver seat of the regional and ultimately advance to Omaha. The HR & call would go down as iconic Dudy Noble moments.

People have asked me if I’m torn since MSU is playing a Catholic university. I love my Catholic faith and I love the University of Notre Dame..., but I am not torn at all. Go Dawgs!

I love sharing the story that the first time I faced Ben at MSU, it was the first time in my life I never saw the ball. He released the pitch and the next thing I heard was the ball hitting the catcher’s mitt. The umpire called it a strike.

I turned around and said to the umpire, “That sounded like a ball.” We all had a good laugh. He’s the best pitcher I ever faced.

I was there! The most exciting moment of my baseball career. I’m writing book that will be out in 2023 highlighting this moment and my path to becoming a priest. Hail State!

Yes all is well. After playing and working in minor league baseball I have now been a catholic priest for 18 years. Been chaplain for the Chicago Cubs for 7 years. Loving every minute of it!
Praying for everyone during this difficult time. What a time to unite our sufferings with those of Jesus as we journey to Calvary with Him. There will be new life coming...

Jake you are right. Enjoy every minute of every day. Live with no regrets. Give it all you have and life will be rewarding and full.
Great to meet Sr. Jean. What a sweet person with deep faith. Also a shout out to Trevor Williams, pitcher for the Pirates. Great guy as well. And of course, Coach Joe Maddon is amazing.
