NCAA's winningest baseball coach Augie Garrido dies at 79

Nobody won more games as a college baseball coach, but despite a life spent in the game there's just one place to look if you want a certified autograph of Augie Garrido.
And that's in packs of 2007 Topps Allen & Ginter.
The 79-year-old former coach of the Texas Longhorns and Cal State Fullerton Titans won the College World Series five times and a record 1,975 games in a career that spanned 48 seasons. He died on Thursday after suffering a stroke last week.
"This is a very, very sad day," said Texas AD Chris Del Conte. "We lost one of the greatest coaches of all time, a truly special Longhorn Legend and college athletics icon. There will never be another Augie Garrido. He was a once-in-a-lifetime personality whose impact on Texas Athletics, collegiate baseball and the student-athletes he coached extended far beyond the playing field. If you were fortunate enough to have spent time with Augie, or if you followed him in any way, he had a great effect on you with his brilliant combination of wisdom, wit and charm. He was just an incredible coach, molder of men and a great person."
