| On August 29, 1998
Rod Taylor became the first Tequila Worm elected to "Ring
Worms." For many years he was the "straw that stirred the drink"
for the Worms. Rod was very daring on the base paths and felt like he would
throw out any runner trying to take an extra base. For his accomplishment, Rod received a framed jersey #13, Ring Worm trophy and autographed ball signed by all the Worm players. Also, his wife, Joni Beth was presented with a dozen roses and his son Brandon received some baseball cards. Rod and his family now reside in Cedar Park, Texas just outside of Austin. Long time friend, Mike McKee said that "Rod always seem to play like his hair was on fire." Rod will forever be a Worm. Pictures from Ceremony Rod's Profile |
On September 1, 2002 Dee Carter became the second Tequila Worm elected to "Ring Worms." Dee was always calm and cool and provided great leadership for the Worms during his playing days. He was always popular amongst teammates, opponents, and umpires alike. During his ceremony, Dee received his jersey #29 nicely framed, a Ring Worm trophy and autographed ball signed by several of his former Worm teammates. Dee currently makes his home in Plano, Texas and still enjoys keeping up with his former team. Former teammate and roommate David Rohr says that "Dee was the ultimate team player and is as a good a friend as he was teammate." Dee will forever be a Worm. Pictures from Ceremony Dee's Profile |
