Hall of Fame
Canul pitched for the Broncs from 1963-66, leading them to their first two playoff appearances in 1964 and 65. Canul went 8-2 in 1964 and 16-10 in 1965 to lead the Broncs to the NAIA Texas Championships. After playing professionally in Mexico, Canul went on to coach locally, both professionally with the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings, and at the high school level for another 25 years. He was inducted into the Rio Grande Valley Hall of Fame in 2002. Canul's granddaughter, Alyssa, is a freshman on the UTPA track & field team, and introduced him.
"[The Hall of Fame] is something you read about and see on TV. I always wondered if I'd ever get there," Canul said. "It's hard to describe the feeling."
