Born in Austin, Texas in 1899, Bibb August Falk was a classic stereotype of a tall Texan; a man who brimmed with confidence and played the game of baseball with a swagger. Retiring from major league baseball after a brilliant playing career following the 1931 season, Falk returned to the University of Texas in 1940 as head baseball coach and proceeded to become a Longhorn legend.
