Fall 2006 Mike Wilson
Mike
Wilson #57

Spring 2006 Manny Lujan
Manny
Lujan #34 Manny was recruited by the Apollos and the scouting
department of the Apollos decided to convert him into a shortshop...He made the
adjustment and was solid after three games in. The scouting bureau also worked
with Manny to adjust his cowardly baserunning (delay steals, taking extra bases
wildly and aggressively).. Manny attended all the Apollos games.. he had 29 hits
and 30 rbi's to lead the team...he played errorless shortstop in 5 games in 2
days in Birmingham... and hit the key grand slam in the Metro Astros playoff
game and closed the game on the mound for the Apollos... voting was not close,
others receiving 2nd place votes: Tim Brown, Andrew Dunn, Mike Wilson and Alex
Dutka...Manny attended Laredo CC and Westside High School and will be playing college ball in the Fall.

Spring 2003
Marcos Quinones #25 from Ponce,Puerto Rico--Cleveland,Ohio�
Marcos returned to Houston from California in January where he had retired from baseball.
After a fierce recruiting war the Apollos convinced Quinones to wear the Royal and Gold.
After the scrimmages and his wildness on the mound he decided that he would be play but didn't want to pitch in the regular season saving his arm for the playoffs.
Marcos was also the Apollos best hitter with 22 rbis and a .569 batting average with 3 home runs. The Apollos sorely lacked RBI production as Bob Phaff, Chris Gibson
and Clifton Siems all went down with injuries during the season.
Marcos beat the Mudcats, Deer Park Cardinals and the Metro Astros in succession as a pitcher to give the Apollos their third championship in four seasons.
Marcos had 14 RBI's in 22 at bats in the New Orleans Tournament. He also closed out the final game on the mound and played a great defensive shortstop.
Quinones's secret to success is surfing in Freeport before the games. He would surf for several hours claiming it gives him arm strength.

Spring 2002/Spring 2004/Spring 2005
Sonny Terrazas #12�2002
Sonny DDDDDDDelight is from Texas City where he played for the Sting in high school as an outfielder.
He pitched and played outfield for the Apollos. He was by far the ace of the Apollos
in the Spring of 2002. He made all the long drives from Texas City to make the
games. Sonny also was very patient at the plate drawing walks and hitting when
people would pitch to him. He is a switch hitter but he no longer hits left handed because
it gives teams the chance to hit his pitching arm.
He hit a grand slam in a critcal situation against the Tigers in the Championship round.
Sonny was very durable for the Apollos. He
He loved to throw the entire 9 inning game. Below were Sonny's stats.
