“Having more than 300 career wins, multiple state level tourament appearances, and just his relationships that he has with our students, with our student athletes, and just having a long-term commitment to our kids and community is just such a great reflection and truly being deserving of the Minnesota Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame.”<\/p>\n
