Hall of Honor
Gaines was ASU’s first baseball All-American and was also a two-time All-LSC selection. In 2006, he earned all-conference, all-region and All-America honors while helping ASU to a LSC South Division title in just the second year of the program’s existence. He hit .417 as a senior with 13 doubles and four home runs, and he led the team with 66 runs scored and 59 RBIs. He went on to play professionally in the Chicago White Sox organization and for the San Angelo Colts. He has since become a fixture in the San Angelo community through his establishment of the West Texas Elite Youth Baseball program, mentoring and teaching hundreds of young people.
