Schreiner University’s Convocation ceremony marking the start of a new
academic year will be 1-2 p.m., Friday, Aug. 27, in the Dietert Auditorium
on the University campus. This year’s speaker will be Jim “The Rookie”
Morris, whose life story inspired the major motion picture: “The Rookie,”
starring Dennis Quaid as Morris.
Morris played some professional baseball after graduating from San Angelo
State. He eventually became a high school teacher and made a bet with the
school’s baseball team: if they won the district championship, he would try
out for major league baseball. The team took the district title that year
for the first time in the school’s history.
