Baseball facility improvements

Share
 

Wishing to put what little money I have available for such things to good use, is there an organization or booster club working towards a goal of helping the baseball program with improved facilities? Does anyone out there have a contact or contacts that they can provide that we KNOW is working to help make our program stronger?

Some significant obstacles:

(1) Title IX

(2) Mal Moore

(3) Finus Gaston

Re: Baseball facility improvements

How true you are JoJo, glad you made these facts, because somehow when I state the facts like you have here in this case they get deleted and I get told this is not good for the program. So preach on brother!

Re: Baseball facility improvements

If you do the TidePride can you, I guess, earmark how your money is to be used? I have no idea how that thing works so if that's not the case I don't know any other way.

Re: Baseball facility improvements

I hope new stands, clubhouse, or a new stadium altogether can teach our current coaches how to make pitchers better and do all the little situational things in the game.

Why not give it to the department your major came from? We always need more academic $$$ in the fund.

I see what you did there.

Honestly, though, by the time any true lasting improvements are made, Wells will be long gone. It's vital to the future of our program that we start improving our baseball facilities. We're falling well behind the better programs in the league.

Re: Baseball facility improvements

Derek, I appreciate the advice, but my major was in theology and philosophy at Spring Hill. Between my wife and I they got enough of my money .

It is an interesting situation: seems that everyone knows how badly we need to upgrade but the administration doesn't think it a priority. It will be worth watching to see what happens when CMM retires (very soon, I can only assume).
