29, 2010: From TheCollegeBaseballBlog.com:
Miami
(Ohio) University baseball head coach Dan Simonds has
announced that former RedHawk George Stegmiller
will serve as the honorary coach for the 2010 season.
The honor is bestowed upon someone who has close ties
with the Miami baseball program and displays the qualities
of a Miami baseball player, such as character, integrity
and leadership, in his life and in society.
The
team will honor Stegmiller toward the end of March or
the beginning of April (barring his deployment to Afghanistan),
as he and his family will be brought back to Oxford
for the ceremony. Stegmiller will throw out the first
pitch of a game to be determined, while the ceremony
will also involve Miamis ROTC and the team will
wear camouflage baseball caps.
