The processes that have led to advances in the body of knowledge in physics, chemistry, and biology are a great source of fascination. Scientific advances tend to be layered. Without the foundations laid by Issac Newton (universal gravitation), Dmitri Mendeleev (the table of periodic elements), Daniel Bernoulli (hydrodynamics), Michael Faraday (electromagnetic induction), Rudolf Clausius (thermodynamics), Albert Einstein (relativity), Karl Heisenberg (uncertainty principle) or Neils Bohr (quantum mechanics), modern day scientists would not be……modern.

# 25 NMSU Baseball Continues to Defy Odds

The 25th ranked New Mexico State University baseball program does more with less than any program in the nation. Several high school facilities in the state of New Mexico are superior to Presley Askew field, the home of Aggie baseball.
Head coach Rocky Ward and his assistants draw salaries that are dwarfed by those paid by programs all around the country. Assistant Gary Ward (Rocky’s father) is one of the greatest baseball coaches in NCAA history. His resume is tremendous and he is a magnet for college baseball talent. Such is the reputation of both Rocky and Gary Ward for baseball coaching prowess that players from all over the country make inquiries about playing at NMSU. Still, recruiting is a tricky task for the Aggie baseball program. Recruit visits are not part of the winning formula. A player who looks at the resume of NMSU’s baseball principals via internet search engines will be impressed. A player who visits the ramshackle baseball facilities at NMSU will think twice about signing.
