COLLEGECOLLEGE

Boston College head baseball coach Mike Gambino con-tinues a tradition he started last year at The Heights by selecting a current player to wear No. 8 in honor of former player Peter “Sonny” Nictakis. Each season, a player who has battled adversity and represents the best qualities of BC Baseball will wear Sonny’s old number.

Gambino announced that senior captain Kyle Prohovich will don No. 8 for the 2012 season. He made the an-nouncement at Baseball Night, held at Fenway Park’s State Street Pavillion.

Sonny was a two-time captain for the Eagles in 1998-99 and lost his courageous battle with Hodgkin’s disease in the summer of 2000. Until last season, his No. 8 had not been worn since 1999. In 2011, Gambino tabbed senior outfielder Mike Sudol to be the first to wear the number.

“Bringing Sonny’s No. 8 back is something that is very important to me and one of the first things I wanted to do as head coach,” Gambino said at last year’s Baseball Night. “Wearing his number will be the biggest honor a player can receive in our program. It will be given to one player each year - the one that best shows the qualities that made Sonny such a great teammate, great leader and great friend.

“When we think about what we want in this program and the type of kids we want to represent BC baseball, Sonny was the embodiment of all those qualities: hard worker, great teammate, leader, unselfish, committed to being great at everything he did,” Gamnbino added. “He handled adversity, never complained and held himself and everyone around him to an incredibly high standard. Sonny didn’t care whether or not anyone liked him. He had true confidence in himself because of the morals and values instilled in him by his family and he had the integrity to always do the right thing. And that’s part of why everyone loved him.”

Sonny’s two-year captaincy proved what a leader he was. He earned the 1998 Jeff Keith Athletic Leadership Award and the 1996-97 baseball team leadership award. Sonny also served as the president of the Student Athlete Advi-sory Committee. He graduated from BC in 1999 with a double major in English and theology. After graduation, he took a job with the Boston Red Sox. In the summer of 2000, Sonny lost his courageous seven-and-a-half year battle with Hodgkin’s disease.

His spirit lives on in the BC baseball community with the Sonny Nictakis Fall World Series that is played every year.

Prohovich has become the Eagles’ go-to guy out of the bullpen. He appeared in 24 games last season with a 3.46 ERA. He was third on the team in appearances and strikeouts (34) and recorded three wins. He also allowed 15 earned runs on 34 hits in 39.0 innings of work. Some of his 2011 highlights included allowing only two hits in a career-high 4.0 innings against Virgin-ia to record the extra-innings win and striking out five in 3.2 innings and allowing two hits at Duke to earn the win. He allowed only four runs in 12 appearances from March 6 to April 10, a total of 15.1 innings. Prohovich made eight starts as the designed hitter, recording a .195 batting clip in 41 at bats with one home run and three RBIs. His two-run homer, the first of his career, came against SIU Edwardsville in March.

As a junior, the Weston, Mass., native appeared in nine games out of the bullpen. He also received a medical red-shirt in 2009 and made two relief appearances his first year in the Maroon and Gold.

“It’s a great honor to wear Sonny’s number,” Prohovich said. “Last year, Mike Sudol had the honor of wearing it and I want to live up to the standard he set. Personally, this means a lot to me and I want to wear it well. Hopefully, this season I can really do No. 8 justice.”

“Kyle is a kid who has battled through some injuries during his career that, for some players, could have affected the way they work and go about their business on a daily ba-sis,” Gambino said. “For two years I’ve watched how hard he works and how driven he is to be great at everything he does. He is a fierce competitor who takes his preparation very seriously, but always has time to help bring a team-mate along with him. He reminds me of Sonny at times the way he genuinely wants his teammates to succeed. He has turned into a great leader who has earned the utmost respect, not just from his teammates, but from the coach-ing staff as well. There is no doubt in my mind that Kyle will be tremendously successful at whatever he decides to set his mind to after he leaves Boston College. We are lucky to have him in our program.”

ACADEMIC SUCCESSOnce again in 2012, US News & World Report ranked Boston College among the Top 40 Univer-sities in America. BC is one of six Atlantic Coast Conference institutions ranked in the top 40, join-ing Duke, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Virginia and Wake Forest.

BEANPOTBoston College, Northeastern, and Harvard took part in the first Beanpot in 1990 and the tradition has con-tinued since with UMass joining in 1998. The Eagles own a 29-12-1 record in the annual tournament which is the best among the four participants. BC has won 10 Beanpot titles with its latest coming in 2011.

Nestled on a corner of the Boston College campus with a sweeping view of the Boston sky-line, the Eddie Pellagrini Diamond at Shea Field is the home of the baseball team. Shea Field is named after Commander John Shea U.S.N., who played football at Boston College from 1916-17. Shea passed away on September 15, 1942 when the naval carrier “Wasp” was torpedoed during the Guadal Canal campaign.

The diamond was formally dedicated in a ceremony preceding the Boston College-Connect-icut game on May 3, 1997. Pellagrini was Boston College’s baseball coach for 31 years, during which time he accumulated 359 victories and coached three Boston College World Series teams.

Shea Field is the new home of the Peter “Sonny” Nictakis Fall World Series, held for the first time in the fall of 2001. Nictakis, who played baseball at Boston College from 1995-99, passed away in the summer of 2000 after a seven-and-a-half year battle with Hodgkin’s disease. The intra-squad “Maroon and Gold” scrimmage wraps up fall practice.

In the spring, with the Chestnut Hill Reservoir bordering the field along St. Thomas More Drive, the Eagles play their home games at Shea Field. With the students coming out to catch a doubleheader or split an afternoon between baseball and softball games, BC enjoys a strong fan base. Local residents often fill the stands and line the garage ramp to catch the baseball team take the field against some of the nation’s best competition. This year fans will have the opportunity to see 23 home games at Shea Field, including three-game sets against perennial national powerhouses Georgia Tech (March 23-25) and Florida State (April 13-15).

Eddie Pellagrini (second from left) coached Boston College for 30 seasons from 1957-88. He grew up in nearby Roxbury and played 11 seasons in the majors, spending time with the Red Sox, St. Louis Browns, Cincinnati Reds, and Pittsburgh Pirates. He led BC to three appearances in the College World Series.

RED SOXBoston College is one of the few programs in the country to play a Major League Baseball squad. Every season since 1993, the Eagles and Red Sox have met on the diamond at Boston’s spring training facility in Fort Myers, Fla. This year, the two teams will square off on March 3.

POSTSEASON PLAYBoston College stormed onto the national scene in 2009 and advanced to its first ever ACC Champi-onship and its first NCAA Tournament since 1967. The Eagles went 2-1 in the ACC Championship to ensure their berth into the NCAA Tournament where they were selected as the No. 3 seed in the Austin Regional. BC went 1-2 in the regional with a stunning ninth inning comeback against second-seeded Texas State. It also battled No. 1 overall seed Texas in the longest game in NCAA history. It took 25 innings and over seven hours, but the Longhorns won, 3-2. The Eagles advanced to the ACC Championship again in 2010 but fell short of its second-straight bid to the NCAA Tournament.

One of the most exciting things about playing for Boston College is the opportunity to play the sev-en-time World Champion Boston Red Sox at their spring training facility in Fort Myers, Florida. The two teams will meet for the 22nd time on March 3, 2012. The teams have met for the past 19 years and also played in 1916 and 1933. The Eagles had their best chances to win in 1999 and 2002, when they lost by just one run. Last year, the Eagles lost 6-0.

COLLEGECOLLEGE

Head Coach Mike Gambino and the Boston Col-lege baseball team understand the challenges of playing in arguably the best conference in the country, but that does not diminish what their goal is each and every season.

“Our goal is to get to the postseason,” Gambino said. “From the fall and into the spring, we preach that we need to be a team that is playing its best heading down the stretch. That is something that we talk about and focus on all of the time; getting to the postseason and making a run to Omaha once we get there.”

The Eagles will have to do that without some of their key components from last season. Veteran leader Garret Smith, who played a multitude of roles for BC, graduated and was drafted. Brad Za-penas, a three-year starter at shortstop, left early after being drafted by the Chicago Cubs. John Leonard was the Eagles’ most reliable starting pitcher. Mike Dennhardt, despite being lost last year to Tommy John surgery, would have been a weekend starter but he also took his chance to go pro. Matt Hamlet was a four-year starter at sec-ond base.

“Losing Smith is tough with the versatility and leadership he gave us,” Gambino said. “Leonard was so consistent and you always knew what you were going to get out of him. Zapenas leaving early after being drafted was a huge loss for us at shortstop.”

Every team in the country has to fill those holes every year and BC is no different. With a combi-nation of proven players and an injection of new talent, the Eagles will look to make a bid to get back to postseason play.

STARTING PITCHERSThe starting pitching might be the place where Boston College has the most question marks. The only definite to be a weekend ACC starter is sophomore Eric Stevens, who appeared in a team-leading 27 games last year as a freshman. He went 2-1 with a 4.38 ERA in 49.1 innings of work, which also was the most on the squad.

“Stevens is a legitimate ACC pitcher with a domi-nant fastball; not with velocity but with life,” Gam-bino said. “Those other spots are up in the air.”

The Eagles’ most reliable returning hurler is se-nior Kyle Prohovich, but Gambino would like to use him out of the bullpen. Senior Nate Bayuk has been both a starter and a lefty specialist out of the bullpen and is in the mix for a starting role.

Senior Andrew Lawrence was forced into action last year and started 12 games, appearing in 20. He usually pitched just one inning per start as Gambino used a bullpen by committee in two of the three weekend games. He has valuable experience pitching in the ACC as he ended the season 2-3 with 4.26 ERA.

Junior Hunter Gordon and sophomore Matt Alva-rez are a couple of more options for the weekend. Gordon has primarily come out of the bullpen, as he made 26 appearances last year with a 4.09 ERA. Alvarez threw 23 times with three starts.

If senior Matt Brazis can get back to the form he had in 2010 when he was a go-to guy of the bull-pen, he could play a huge role for the Eagles.

“Alvarez has impressive stuff and could play a huge role,” Gambino said. “I could see him clos-ing or being our Sunday starter. Bayuk is coming off a little elbow trouble but has looked good. Bra-zis is a wild card for us and could really change everything.”

Junior Taylor Lasko is a proven arm who has started games in the past, but he underwent Tom-my John surgery late in 2010 and is still on the road to recovery.

Gambino brought in local product Andrew Chin, who would have been an immediate impact on the weekends, but he will sit out the year to recover from Tommy John. Chin, who hails from Newton, was drafted by Toronto in the fifth round.

RELIEF PITCHERSBC returns its best reliever in Prohovich, but as stated above, Gambino would only use him in the pen in an ideal situation. He made 24 appear-ances last season and went 3-1 with a 3.46 ERA in 39.0 innings of work. He struck out 34 batters and walked 16.

“We trust Prohovich so much out of the bullpen and we love having him in there,” Gambino said. “He is the guy I want to go to. But if you can’t get to him, you can’t get to him. He might have to be a swing guy.”

With Stevens being the only solidified starter, BC could use a variety of pitchers out of the bullpen. Bayuk has been the go-to guy to retire a left-hander if the situation arose and Gordon has come out of the pen his entire career.

Brazis served as the closer in 2010 and racked up nine saves.

The Eagles return junior Jay Jeannotte, who will be a factor in the back end of games after com-ing off shoulder surgery. Sophomore Steve Green made 13 appearances last year as a freshman and will see more time if his consistency im-proves.

Freshmen John Gorman, Eric Stone and Tyler Hinchliffe will get their time on the mound this year, as will Michael West and Nick Poore.

COLLEGECOLLEGE

CATCHERSThe Eagles have two viable options to go be-hind the plate and they are junior Matt Paré and sophomore Nate LaPointe. Paré was one of two starters at catcher last year before a knee injury sidelined him for the rest of the year. He made 27 starts. LaPointe appeared in 20 games with 12 starts and batted .282.

“We have a really good battle between Paré and LaPointe,” Gambino said. “It will be back and forth with those guys early because both have some experience behind the plate. LaPointe’s raw pow-er and hard work has turned him into a good op-tion. Paré is going to hit and everyone knows that. He is also a solid defensive player.”

Freshman Geoffrey Murphy is the third option for Gambino behind the plate, but could make a big-ger impact out of the bullpen in his first season with the Eagles.

FIRST BASEThe field position that is most up in the air enter-ing the season is at first. Senior Spenser Payne might see the most time at the position after ap-pearing in 31 games last year with eight starts. He batted .242 in 33 at-bats.

Junior Rob Moir is also a player who could see a lot of time at first base. He played in 21 games in 2011 with three starts and is undoubtedly one of the leaders on this year’s team.

Prohovich has spent time at first base in the past and Gambino can also use Gorman, Hinchliffe and freshman Travis Ferrick at the position.

SECOND BASEFreshman Blake Butera looks to be the starter at second base to replace Hamlet, who was a four-year starter at the position. Butera is the brother of Barry, who played for BC from 2007-09 before leaving to go pro. He led BC to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 42 years in 2009.

“Blake is a solid baseball player,” Gambino said. “He has really good hands and an arm for short-stop. He is a natural shortstop who has made the adjustment and gotten much better on his turns.”

Sophomore John Hennesy is another option to play at second, but he seems to be the frontrun-ner to start at third. Ferrick will fight for time at all of the infield spots while freshman Nick Colucci recovers from Tommy John surgery.

SHORTSTOPGambino knows what he has at shortstop and he is excited for the type of year that senior Anthony Melchionda could have.

Melchionda has started at third base the last two seasons but is making the move to his left to be-come the anchor of the defense. Last season, he batted .304 with 17 doubles, three triples and 34 RBIs.

“I think Melchionda is our best player across the board,” Gambino said. “He has way more range than you would think and he is just a really good baseball player. Anything you would want your shortstop to get to, he gets to. He is so consistent over there and so accurate with his throws.”

As a career .319 hitter in the brutal ACC and with 110 starts under his belt, Gambino knows Mel-chionda can use his experience to have a mas-sive final season.

“I think he is going to be a sleeper for ACC Player of the Year,” Gambino said. “That’s how good he is going to be.”

THIRD BASE Hennessy is the likely pick to start at third base this season. He earned some time in the infield a year ago with 13 appearances and five starts.

“Hennessy has worked so hard and is right in the mix at third and second,” Gambino said. “He has gotten a lot better defensively and the bat is com-ing along. He is settling in at third as he gains more experience over there.”

Payne has also spent some time at third base and will see action over there. Newcomers Gor-man and Ferrick are a couple of more options for Gambino at the hot corner.

OUTFIELDThe outfield is where the Eagles return the most experience and will serve as a strength for the 2012 Eagle team.

Lawrence will serve as the starting left fielder if he isn’t taking the mound to begin the game. He is one of the most seasoned veterans on the team with 96 starts. He is a career .291 hitter with 11 homers and 58 RBIs.

Sophomore Tom Bourdon returns as the starting center fielder after being a key component for the Eagles last year. He batted .289 and led the team with six steals.

Junior Matt McGovern was held out of the lineup early last season with an injury but emerged as one of the best bats on the team. He led BC with a .371 average and three triples. He is the likely op-tion at right field, but he and Bourdon could switch spots at different times.

“Those are three really good left-handed hitters,” Gambino said. “Lawrence is coming into his own offensively and is going to hit for some power this year. He should give us some protection around Melchionda.”

Senior Marc Perdios is a solid option when a right-handed batter is needed in the lineup, espe-cially if Lawrence is on the mound. He started 38 games in 2011 and batted .267. Moir is another experienced outfielder that would have no prob-lem stepping in. Junior Koury Hajjar and sopho-more Jimmy Dowdell could be in the mix as well.

Mike Gambino, a 2000 graduate of Boston College, was named head baseball coach on July 19, 2010.

Gambino is in charge of rebuilding a program that made an emphatic postseason statement in 2009, earning its first ACC Championship berth and first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1967.

The Eagles went 17-33 in his first season at the helm last year, but he saw four play-ers get selected in the MLB First-Year Player Draft.

Gambino, who was an assistant coach for the Eagles from 2003-05, came from Virginia Tech where he spent four seasons as an assistant coach under former BC head coach, Pete Hughes. He served as the Hokies’ recruiting coordinator and also worked with the hitters and infielders. Virginia Tech’s batting average improved 40 points (from .279 to .319) under his direction since the 2006 season.

With Gambino’s help, the 2010 Hokies made their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2000 and finished the season ranked No. 20 in the country. Prior to working in Blacksburg, Gambino spent a year as a regional scout for the Detroit Tigers.

Gambino, who played for the Eagles from 1997-2000, started 166 games in the middle infield. He held a career batting average of .313 with 22 doubles, eight hom-ers, 87 RBI and 117 runs. In his final season in 2000, he belted 78 hits and scored 52 times, which ranks tied for fifth and eighth, respectively, in a single season. His 78 hits that year were the most in a single season at the time.

He was a first-team All-Big East, All-New England and All-Northeast region honoree following his senior campaign. He also earned second-team All-New England and Big East Academic Team accolades during his playing career. Following his career with BC, the Garrison, N.Y., native played two seasons in the Boston Red Sox minor league system. He spent the 2000 season with the Augusta Green Jackets before splitting the 2001 season between Augusta and the Lowell Spinners. In 2002, the Red Sox hired Gambino as a special assistant to the Major League staff before heading back to Lowell for a coaching role with the Spinners just prior to the June draft. Following his stint in Lowell, the Red Sox sent Gambino to the Major League Baseball Scout Development Program.

In January 2003, Gambino returned to BC as an assistant coach under Hughes.

Gambino received his bachelor’s degree from the Heights in English and theology.

In 2008, he was named the national Coach of the Year by the Association of Division Three Independents. The Nighthawks earned the New England Collegiate Conference Sportsmanship Award in each of the last two seasons.

SCOTT fRiEdHOLm

• ASSISTANT COACH• SECOND SEASON AT BC

Scott Friedholm, who spent five seasons as the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach at Navy, is in his second season as an assistant coach for the Boston College baseball team.

Friedholm, who also serves as the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach for the Eagles, helped the Midshipmen reach new heights on the diamond. He guided the pitching staff to the highest five-year win (149), strikeout (1,757) and save (59) totals among any other five-year stretch in program history.

Friedholm developed the first two pitchers to ever be drafted out of Navy while also mentoring 12 all-conference selections, three freshman All-Americans and one All-American. The Midshipmen won 30 games in four of the five years he was at Navy. The program had done that just three times in the previous 110 seasons.

Prior to arriving in Annapolis, Friedholm spent four seasons in the same capacity at Maine, producing a pair of MLB draft picks and guiding the Black Bears to two NCAA Tournament appearances. Friedholm also served as the pitching coach for two seasons at Bryant, where the Bulldogs set school records in both overall and Northeast-10 Conference wins in consecutive years.

Friedholm played four seasons at Providence from 1995-98. As a freshman, he was part of the Friars squad that won 44 games and a program-record 16 Big East games that earned them a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Friedholm earned All-Big East and all-region honors in 1996 and then as a senior he hit .395 with 13 homers and a school-record 66 RBI, earning All-America honors.

Friedholm signed a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay organization in June of 1998. He played for the St. Petersburg Devil Rays of the Class A Florida State League. In 1999, he attended the Rays’ spring training camp.

Friedholm graduated from Providence in 1998 with a degree in history.

STEVE EngLERT

Steve Englert is in his 11th season as an assistant coach at Boston College. Englert’s primary responsibilities are working with the catchers and as a hitting coach.

Englert mentored Tony Sanchez who emerged as the top collegiate catcher in the country in 2009 and was a finalist for the Johnny Bench Award. Sanchez was selected fourth overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates, making him the highest draft pick ever from Boston College.

Englert has seen 33 Eagles selected in the Major League draft since he took a position at Boston College in 2002.

In addition to coaching the Eagles, Englert has also coached the Harwich Mari-ners in the Cape League for the past 14 seasons. In the summer of 2008, En-glert led the Mariners to its first Cape League title since 1987 and then followed that up with another championship in 2011.

Englert first served as an assistant with Harwich from 1998-2002 before being promoted to his current position as field manager in 2003. Under his tenure as head coach, the Mariners have averaged 19 players drafted per year in-cluding six first round picks in the last four seasons. Englert has tutored 36 All-Americans and over 200 players currently play professionally, including 22 major leaguers.

Englert came to the Heights after spending one season at Holy Cross, where he coached the catchers and outfielders and was also the hitting instructor. He helped tutor the Crusaders to the Patriot League Tournament in 2001.

Prior to his stint at Holy Cross, he spent one season at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he coached the catchers and also worked as the hitting in-structor. While at VCU, he helped lead the team to the Colonial Conference Tournament championship game.

Englert’s first collegiate coaching job came in 1998 as an assistant at the Uni-versity of Richmond. In his only year there, the Spiders broke the school single-season record for home runs, won the Colonial Conference, earned a bid to the NCAA tournament and finished the season ranked No. 25 in the country.

A 1987 Boston College graduate, Steve resides in Chestnut Hill, Mass., with his wife, Lisa, and their daughter, Samantha.

Boston College’s baseball greats who have been inducted into the BC varsity Club Hall of fame:

1970Charles “duck” darling (’25) – “Chuck” is one of the fin-est hitters in Boston College history, finishing his playing days with an average over .400. Despite his prowess at the plate, he was even more successful on the football field. He earned All-America honors at both quarterback and fullback, and served as captain in 1923.

louis “luke” Temple (’21) – “Luke” is not only one of the greatest athletes to ever wear the Boston College maroon and gold but he was one the premier athletes in America in his time. He is one of the few athletes to earn letters in four different sports. This infielder/catcher captained three sports his senior year (football, basketball, baseball) as well as played goalie on the hockey team. After his BC days, he went on to excel professionally in football, bas-ketball and baseball.

Al Weston (’29) – This talented first baseman graduated with a career batting average over .400. In 1928, he led all eastern college players in batting, posting a .465 mark. After his playing days at Boston College, he went on to a professional career with the former Boston Braves (now Atlanta Braves).

1971frank “Cheese” McCrehan (’25) – “Cheese” was the ace of the 1923 pitching staff, the year that the yearbook editor claimed the unofficial national championship for the Eagles. His greatest moment came when, in front of 40,000 people, he defeated Owen Carroll and Holy Cross, 4-1, at Braves Field. The three-game series between the top-ranked Crusaders and second-ranked Eagles for the Eastern Title drew a total of 83,000 spectators. He later coached at the Heights for eight years.

1972Mike Roarke (’52) – This two-sport athlete captained both the football and baseball teams his senior year, earning him the title “Mr. Captain.” This solid hitter was also one of the best catchers to ever don the maroon and gold. After his career at the Heights, Mike enjoyed a short stint with Detroit Tigers before entering the major-league coaching ranks. Mike was inducted into the Bos-ton College Varsity Club Hall of Fame in 1972.

1973Rev. Msg. Bernard O’Kane (’09) – Monsignor O’Kane was probably Boston College’s first real star athlete. Like fellow hall of famer Luke Urban, O’Kane captained three sports – baseball, basketball and track. While he was most suc-cessful in the track meets, he was a star on the diamond as well. This standout center fielder was also dominant at the plate, even against such names as Notre Dame’s Jean Debuc’s (later a teammate of Ty Cobb in Detroit) and famous Red Sox pitcher Smokey Joe Wood.

Andy Spognardi (’32) – Andy earned his spot as one of the great infielders in Boston College baseball history. An outstanding shortstop, he was known for his lightning-fast pivot on double plays. On the very day he graduated from BC, he was given a contract with the Boston Red Sox and took over the shortstop role that same day. His career as a major league infielder was cut short in favor of his lifelong ambition: to become a doctor.

1974Phil Corrigan (’21) – One of four student-athletes to letter in four sports at Boston College, he participated in hockey, track, baseball and football. The versatile athlete, played infield, outfield and catcher for the Eagles.

1975Ed Mullowney (’26) – An outstanding right-handed hurler, he pitched the Eagles to Eastern baseball supremacy. Also the hockey team’s defenseman, Mullowney spurned professional offers from baseball’s Washington Senators and hockey’s Boston Bruins to attend law school.

1976Bob defelice (’63) – This backstop doubled as guard and linebacker on the Eagle football squad. Bob finished his collegiate career with a batting average over .300 and was arguably the best defensive catcher in Boston College his-tory. In his four-year career, Bob went to the NCAA District I playoffs four times, twice advancing to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. Bob is now the baseball coach and athletic director at Bentley College.

John dixon (’31) – The “Norwood Lamplighter,” as he was dubbed because of his large stature, was the corner-stone of a BC pitching staff that dominated New England baseball. This staff, under coaches Hugh Duffy and Frank “Cheese” McCrehan, was one of the greatest in New Eng-land baseball history.

Ed gallagher (’32) – The great fire-balling, left-handed pitcher, who led BC to an era of unprecedented baseball success, also played both ways on the gridiron. After graduation, he played professional baseball with the Red Sox and later returned to BC as the elected President of the Alumni Association (1955-56).

1977george Colbert (’32) – As well as being both the quar-terback and punter for the football team, George’s real prowess was on the diamond.

Since Gene DeFilippo became Director of Athletics in Septem-ber of 1997, he has led the BC athletics program to an unprec-edented period of innovation, growth, fundraising, athletic and academic success. He also led the program through one of the most significant periods in its history as it transitioned to full membership in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Under DeFilippo’s leadership, Boston College student-athletes’ achievements in the classroom have become an immense source of pride for the University and its supporters. Twenty-one Boston College sports teams received a perfect Graduation Success Rate score of 100, according to data released by the NCAA last November. That figure represents the most teams with a perfect 100 score of any Division I intercollegiate athletics program in the country for the second consecutive year. In ad-dition, BC football – with a score of 90 – was one of only six FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) programs in the country to receive a score of 90 or better.

In May, Boston College’s varsity sports teams scored big when the NCAA released its annual Academic Progress Rate report. The average APR score of the 28 BC teams that were counted was 989 - 19 points above the national average (970). Every BC team scored 960 or above, and six teams - men’s fencing, men’s golf, men’s skiing, women’s lacrosse, women’s skiing and women’s tennis - scored a perfect 1,000. Boston College’s football team scored a 971 - a full 25 points above the national average. The men’s basketball team scored a 972 - 27 points above the national average.

“Boston College is, above all, an academic institution,” De-Filippo said. “We want to field competitive sports teams, and we want to win, which our teams do. But when we recruit stu-dent-athletes, we tell them they have an opportunity to receive a degree from one of the greatest universities in the country, and our mission is to ensure that they are successful. We are extremely proud of our student-athletes’ accomplishments in the classroom.”

Last year, 349 BC student-athletes maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or better, earning the Athletic Director’s Award for Academic Excellence. BC’s graduation rate for all student-athletes has consistently ranked in the nation’s top ten. NCSA

Athletic Recruiting ranked Boston College 13th among NCAA Division I universities in its annual power rankings, which as-sess the combined academic and athletics standards of all NCAA athletic programs across the country.

DeFilippo has undertaken an impressive overhaul of BC’s ath-letics facilities that includes new football practice facilities, a to-tal renovation of Conte Forum, including a new sound system, floor and video boards, new soccer, field hockey and lacrosse stadiums on the Newton campus, new Field Turf for Alumni Stadium, and an air-inflated bubble to cover the stadium turf to provide an indoor practice facility for all sports during the winter months.

DeFilippo was instrumental in raising money to build the pri-vately funded $27 million, 72,000-square-foot Yawkey Athletics Center, which houses the football program, the Office of Learn-ing Resources for Student-Athletes, and a large function area for general University use. After football moved into the Yawkey Center, BC undertook a multi-million dollar renovation Conte Forum to provide additional locker room and office space for many of BC’s 31 varsity sports.

DeFilippo renamed the Athletics Association’s fundraising arm (formerly Blue Chips) in honor of longtime Athletics Director Bill Flynn. Alumni, parents and friends of Boston College contrib-uted nearly $20 million during the past year including more than 40 commitments of $100,000 or more in support of intercolle-giate athletics. During the Light the World Campaign, DeFilippo has led an athletics fundraising effort that has totaled more than $150 million.

Anne and Gene DeFilippo cemented their commitment to Bos-ton College by announcing their pledge of $100,000 to endow a scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded annually to a fe-male student-athlete who demonstrates outstanding academic achievement and financial need.

In athletics competition, DeFilippo has overseen some of the most successful seasons in Boston College Athletics history. During the 2010-11 season, the football team appeared in a school-record 12th consecutive bowl game, the women’s soc-cer team advanced to its first Final Four and the women’s ice

hockey team advanced to the Frozen Four. In 2010, the men’s ice hockey team captured its fourth national championship (its third since 2001). In 2008, the men’s soccer team captured both the ACC regular-season and tournament championships and entered the NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament as the overall No. 1 seed.

From 1993-97, DeFilippo served as director of athletics at Vil-lanova University. He served as Associate Director of Athletics at the University of Kentucky from 1987-93, Director of Athletics at the University of South Carolina-Spartanburg from 1984-87 and Director of Administrative Services at Vanderbilt University from 1983-84.

His coaching experience includes three years as offensive backfield coach at Vanderbilt (1980-82), which included the 1982 Hall of Fame Bowl. From 1975-79, he was offensive co-ordinator at Youngstown State University, during which time the team won two consecutive Mid-Continent Conference champi-onships, 1978-79. In 1973-74, he was graduate assistant foot-ball coach for the University of Tennessee, coaching in the 1973 Gator Bowl and 1974 Liberty Bowl.

A 1973 graduate of Springfield College with a Bachelor of Science degree, DeFilippo earned three varsity letters as a quarterback in football during his undergraduate career. He received a master’s degree in educational administration from the University of Tennessee in 1974.

He was recently named the 2010 recipient of the New England Prep School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Martin Williams Soud-ers Award, presented annually to a graduate of a New England independent school who made a distinguished record in sports and who since made a distinguished record in life through his/her ideals, leaderships and accomplishments. Past recipients have included George H.W. Bush, Sargent Shriver, Michael Er-izione, Dee Rowe, Bill Cleary, and former BC Athletics Director Bill Flynn.

DeFilippo and his wife, Anne, are the parents of three children – Christine Eldred (married to Matt Eldred), John and Mary and recently welcomed their first grandchild, Katherine Eldred.

COLLEGECOLLEGETHE ACC

Consistency.

It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor.

However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually im-possible to maintain a high level of consistency.

Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now, in its 59th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive in-tercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it.

Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have cap-tured 123 national championships, including 65 in women’s competition and 58 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 140 times in men’s competition and 99 times in women’s action.

ACC Baseball again made its mark nationally in 2011. The ACC saw six teams – Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina and Virginia– ranked nationally throughout the season. That produced a stellar field for the 38th annual ACC Baseball Championship, which was held May 25-29 at Durham (N.C.) Bulls Athletic Park. The championship game came down to a battle of division winners – Coastal co-champion Virginia and Atlantic champion Florida State. Virginia scored a 7-2 win over the Seminoles in the title game with the help of a three-run home run by Championship MVP Steven Proscia. The ACC Championship was the third for the Cavaliers in the 38-year his-tory of league tournament play, with all three ironically coming at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

Virginia saw junior left-hander Danny Hultzen voted ACC Pitcher of the Year, while the Cavaliers’ Brian O’Connor was voted the league’s Coach of the Year for a second year in a row. Clemson shortstop Brad Miller, whose .419 batting aver-age during the regular season was 61 points higher than any other league hitter, was voted the ACC Player of the Year. North Carolina third baseman Colin Moran, who hit .389 in ACC games and became just the fourth freshman in school history to drive in 60 or more runs, earned Freshman of the Year honors.

Hultzen finished career at Virginia with a three-year record of 32-5 and a 2.08 ERA, the lowest among conference pitch-ers with 100 or more career innings from 2009 through 2011. Florida State pitcher Sean Gilmartin’s 32 career wins at the end of the regular season were the fifth-most among active NCAA pitchers, and he added one more in postseason play. Florida State outfielder James Ramsey, a first-team All-ACC selection and a Major League draft choice who also excelled in the classroom, was named the ACC Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year. National honors went to Clemson’s Miller, who received the Brooks Wallace Award as the nation’s top shortstop, and Virginia’s Hultzen, the John Olerud Award re-cipient as the nation’s top two-way player.

The regular season was also highlighted by Virginia pitcher Will Roberts’ perfect game against George Washington on March 29. It was just the second perfect game thrown by an ACC pitcher (and the first since 1959) and only the eighth nine-inning perfect game in NCAA history.

The Major League Baseball Draft in June saw 58 student-athletes from Atlantic Coast Conference schools selected, the third-most in conference history. Four ACC student-athletes – Virginia’s Hultzen (second overall), Georgia Tech pitcher Jed Bradley (15th overall), Florida State’s Gilmartin (28th overall) and North Carolina shortstop Levi Michael (30th overall) – were selected in the first round.

At least 50 ACC players have been selected in each of the last six MLB Drafts, and the ACC has had multiple first-round selections in 10 of the last 11. The ACC has produced four No. 1 overall picks in North Carolina’s B.J. Surhoff in 1985, Florida State’s Paul Wilson in 1994, Clemson’s Kris Benson in 1996 and Miami’s Pat Burrell in 1998. The current 12 ACC schools have had 826 players selected in the MLB Draft since 1994, including 61 first-round picks. The conference’s four student-athletes chosen in the first round in 2011 extended the ACC’s streak of at least one player selected in the first round to 20 consecutive years.

Clemson’s Miller, Florida State’s Gilmartin, North Caro-lina’s Moran and Virginia’s Hultzen and Branden Kline were each named to at least one All-America first team, and four other players – Georgia Tech’s Mark Pope, Florida State’s Ramsey, and Virginia’s Roberts and John Hicks – were each named second- or third-team All-America by at least one publication.

Seven ACC teams earned spots in the 2011 NCAA Cham-pionship. It marked the sixth time in the last seven years that the ACC had placed at least seven teams among the 64-team field. The conference boasted three of the top five national seeds, as Virginia was seeded No. 1 overall, North Carolina was at No. 3 and Florida State at No. 5. Those teams were joined in postseason play by Clemson, Georgia Tech, Miami and NC State. All three of the ACC’s nation-ally-seeded teams advanced to Super Regional play, with Virginia and North Carolina moving on to the 65th College World Series at Omaha, Neb.

The Tar Heels’ trip to the College World Series was their ninth overall and their fifth in six years under head coach Mike Fox. Virginia made its second CWS trip to Omaha, both of which have come in the last three seasons. The ACC, which placed multiple teams to the College World Series for the fourth straight year and the fifth time in six seasons, has sent 14 teams to Omaha since 2006.

2010-11 IN REVIEW

The 2010-11 academic year concluded with the league pock-eting two more national team titles and 18 individual crowns. The ACC has won 45 national team titles since the beginning of 2000. The conference has won two or more NCAA titles in 29 of the past 31 years. Overall, 132 ACC teams placed in NCAA championships during the past season, and ACC teams played in nine football postseason bowl games (win-ning four).

The ACC placed at least one team in the final top 10 nationally in 19 of the 25 sponsored sports for which polls were avail-able. In all, 40 ACC teams finished their seasons with a top 10 ranking, including two at the No. 1 spot.

For the 2010-11 campaign, seven of the 12 ACC schools fin-ished among the Top 50 of the final ranking of the NACDA Di-rectors’ Cup, awarded annually to the honor the top institution maintaining a broad-based athletic program and achieving success in many sports.

A total of 306 student-athletes from the ACC earned first-, second- or third-team All-America honors in the past year. In addition, the ACC produced three National Players of the Year, four National Freshmen of the Year and four National Coach of the Year recipients.

2010-11 NATIONAl CHAMPIONSHIPSField Hockey - Maryland, Men’s Lacrosse - Virginia

THE CHAMPIONSHIPS

The conference will conduct championship competition in 25 sports during the 2010-11 academic year - 12 for men and 13 for women. The first ACC championship was held in swim-ming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year.

The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soc-cer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wres-tling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981.

Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first champion-ship meet held in tennis at Wake Forest University.

Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing with volleyball deciding its champion by regular season play.

A HISTORY

The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - draw-ing up the conference by-laws.

The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Confer-ence came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the ACC.

Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline.

Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses.

On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the Uni-versity of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964.

The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University.

The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Poly-technic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005.

THE SCHOOLS

Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Je-sus to serve the sons of Boston’s Irish immigrants and was the first institution of higher education to be founded in the city of Boston. Originally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston, the College outgrew its urban setting toward the end of its first 50 years. A new location was se-lected in Chestnut Hill and ground for the new campus was broken on June 19, 1909. During the 1940s, new purchases doubled the size of the main campus. In 1974, Boston Col-lege acquired Newton College of the Sacred Heart, 1.5 miles away. With 15 buildings on 40 acres, it is now the site of the Law School and residence halls. In 2004, BC purchased 43 acres of land from the archdiocese of Boston; this now forms the Brighton campus.

Clemson University is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Georgia border, and the tiger paws paint-ed on the roads make the return to I-85 easier. The school is built around Fort Hill, the plantation home of John C. Cal-houn, Vice President to Andrew Jackson. His son-in-law, Tom Clemson, left the land to be used as an agricultural school, and in 1893 Clemson opened its doors as a land-grant school, thanks to the efforts of Ben Tillman.

Duke University was founded in 1924 by tobacco magnate James B. Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke. Originally the school was called Trinity College, a Methodist institution, started in 1859. In 1892, Trinity moved to west Durham where the east campus with its Georgian architecture now stands. Nearby are Sarah P. Duke gardens, and further west the Gothic spires of Duke chapel overlook the west campus.

Florida State University is one of 11 universities of the State University System of Florida. It was established as the Seminary West of the Suwannee by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1851, and first offered instruction at the post-secondary level in 1857. Its Tallahassee campus has been the site of an institution of higher education longer than any other site in the state. In 1905, the Buckman Act reorga-nized higher education in the state and designated the Tal-lahassee school as the Florida Female College. In 1909, it was renamed Florida State College for Women. In 1947, the school returned to a co-educational status, and the name was changed to Florida State University.

Next to I-85 in downtown Atlanta stands the Georgia Institute of Technology, founded in 1885. Its first students came to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering, the only one of-fered at the time. Tech’s strength is not only the red clay of Georgia, but a restored gold and white 1930 model A Ford Cabriolet, the official mascot. The old Ford was first used in 1961, but a Ramblin’ Wreck had been around for over three decades. The Ramblin’ Wreck fight song appeared almost as soon as the school opened, and it is not only American boys that grow up singing its rollicking tune, for Richard Nixon and Nikita Krushchev sang it when they met in Moscow in 1959.

The University of Maryland opened in 1856 as an agricultural school nine miles north of Washington, D.C., on land belong-ing to Charles Calvert, a descendant of Lord Baltimore, the state’s founding father. The school colors are the same as the state flag: black and gold for George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) and red and white for his mother, Alice Crossland. Maryland has been called the school that Curley Byrd built, for he was its quarterback, then football coach, athletic director, assistant to the president, vice-president, and finally its president. Byrd also designed the football stadium and the campus layout, and suggested the nickname Terrapin, a local turtle known for its bite, when students wanted to replace the nickname Old Liners with a new one for the school.

The University of Miami was chartered in 1925 by a group of citizens who felt an institution of higher learning was needed for the development of their young and growing commu-nity. Since the first class of 560 students enrolled in the fall of 1926, the University has expanded to more than 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students from every state and more than 114 nations from around the world. The school’s colors, representative of the Florida orange tree, were se-lected in 1926. Orange symbolizes the fruit of the tree, green represents the leaves and white, the blossoms.

The University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, has been called “the perfect college town,” making its tree-lined streets and balmy atmosphere what a college should look and feel like. Its inception in 1795 makes it one of the oldest schools in the nation, and its nickname of Tar Heels stems from the tar pitch and turpentine that were the state’s principal industry. The nickname is as old as the school, for it was born during the Revolutionary War when tar was dumped into the streams to impede the advance of British forces.

North Carolina State University is located in the state capi-tal of Raleigh. It opened in 1889 as a land-grant agricultural and mechanical school and was known as A&M or Aggies or Farmers for over a quarter-century. The school’s colors of pink and blue were gone by 1895, brown and white were tried for a year, but the students finally chose red and white to rep-resent the school. An unhappy fan in 1922 said State football players behaved like a pack of wolves, and the term that was coined in derision became a badge of honor.

The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson and is one of three things on his tombstone for which he wanted to be remembered. James Madison and James Monroe were on the board of governors in the early years. The Rotunda, a half-scale version of the Pantheon which faces the Lawn, is the focal point of the grounds as the campus is called. Jefferson wanted his school to edu-cate leaders in practical affairs and public service, not just to train teachers.

Virginia Tech was established in 1872 as an all-male military school dedicated to the original land-grant mission of teach-ing agriculture and engineering. The University has grown from a small college of 132 students into the largest institution of higher education in the state during its 132-year history. Located in Southwest Virginia on a plateau between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains, the campus consists of 334 buildings and 20 miles of sidewalks over 2,600 acres. The of-ficial school colors - Chicago maroon and burnt orange - were selected in 1896 because they made a “unique combination” not worn elsewhere at the time.

Wake Forest University was started on Calvin Jones’ planta-tion amid the stately pine forest of Wake County in 1834. The Baptist seminary is still there, but the school was moved to Winston-Salem in 1956 on a site donated by Charles H. and Mary Reynolds Babcock. President Harry S. Truman attended the ground-breaking ceremonies that brought a picturesque campus of Georgian architecture and painted roofs. Wake’s colors have been black and gold since 1895, thanks to a badge designed by student John Heck who died before he graduated.

THE CiTY Of BOSTOnBC is located on the doorstep of one of America’s great cities, a center of culture and education for three cen-turies. With its unmatched history and present-day sta-tus as the cultural, educational and commercial center of New England, Boston has garnered a well-deserved reputation as one of the truly great cities in America and, indeed, in the world.

Boston, the capital of Massachusetts and largest city in the six-state region, is perhaps best known for its plethora of top-notch colleges and universities. It is also famous for a wide array of professional and amateur sports options and an appealing proximity to some of the Northeast’s finest va-cationing spots.

EDUCATIONThe Boston area sports the world’s most concentrated col-lection of educational institutions. Many of the country’s top universities, including Boston College, are located in New England.

HISTORYBostonians led the charge for freedom in the Revolution-ary War, as the so-called “Minutemen” – bolstered by such eminent patriots as Paul Revere, Samuel Adams and John Hancock – fought and died for this country’s independence.

REGIONMartha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, scenic islands off the coast of Massachusetts, are well-known for their bike trails, historic lighthouses and meandering beaches. The “arm of Southeastern Massachusetts,” Cape Cod serves as a relax-ing summer haven for thousands of Bostonians, New Eng-landers and others.

SPORTSIn addition to a wide array of college sports, the Boston area is a hub of professional sports passion. The Boston Red Sox capture the imagination of the region year-round and have won the World Series twice since 2004. The New Eng-land Patriots have won three Super Bowl championships since 2001. The NBA’s Boston Celtics are widely consid-ered the most successful and storied team in the history of sport, having won 17 world championships. The Boston Bruins were one of the NHL’s six original franchises and won their sixth Stanley Cup in 2010-11.

Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus to serve the sons of Boston’s Irish immigrants. It was the first institution of higher education to be found-ed in the city of Boston. Today, it is one of the foremost universities in the nation, with a coeducational enroll-ment of 14,500 undergraduate and graduate students. Boston College has drawn students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries.

Boston College has grown not just in size, but also in stature and diversity. Today, it is ranked among the top 34 national universities by US News & World Report. Its Graduate School of Social Work is listed among the nation’s top 15, also by US News, while the graduate programs of its Lynch School of Education are among the top 20 and its Connell School of Nursing and Law School are among the top 30. In addition, eight under-graduate programs of the Carroll School of Management placed among the top 10 in the nation according to Busi-nessWeek, with accounting placing first in its category. Boston College is among the nation’s most selective uni-versities, with nearly 30,000 applications received for its 2,250-member Class of 2013, and is numbered among the top American private research universities.

After more than a century of growth and evolution, Bos-ton College holds fast to the ideals that inspired its Jesuit founders. The University today remains focused on its mission of helping students to develop their minds and talents while providing them with the motivation and com-passion to use those talents in the service of others.

“Deeply rooted in its Catholic and Jesuit origins, Bos-ton College offers an education that is distinctive in spirit and content, that is doubly rich with the best of human thought and with the profound insights of faith,” writes Reverend William P. Leahy, SJ, who as-sumed the presidency of Boston College in 1996. “We believe that Boston College provides a transforming experience for young men and women.”

A continued expression of this philosophy, based on the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or care for the indi-vidual, is the faculty’s dedication to teaching. BC faculty members have been honored for their teaching by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education, while the University’s overall commitment to teaching has been ranked among the nation’s top 20, also by US News & World Report.

A Boston College education focuses not only on intel-lectual development, but also on personal, spiritual and physical development. Students are asked to use their abilities, education and acquired skills to help others in need, whether in Boston or Belize. Each year, more than 5,000 undergraduates give some 375,000 hours of com-munity service in the Boston area, while more than 650 students trade vacation for service during Spring Break. Nearly 2,000 students take part in retreats and spiritual formation activities annually.

Today, the Boston College motto “ever to excel” also extends to a broad array of extracurricular activities and opportunities ranging from sports to the arts. Athletics is integral to the University’s focus on the development of the whole person in body as well as in mind and spirit. BC offers 31 men’s and women’s varsity sports, all of which compete at the NCAA Division I level, and annually has one of the highest graduation rates in Division I.

BC offers a wide variety of resources that enrich intel-lectual and cultural life beyond the campus gates. Among these are the Jesuit Institute; Center for Ignatian Spiritu-ality; Center for Catholic Education; Church in the 21st Century Center; Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life; Center for Human Rights and International Justice; Center for Christian-Jewish Learning; Winston Center for Leadership and Ethics; Center on Wealth and Philanthropy; Center for Retirement Research; Sloan Center on Aging and Work; Center for the Study of Testing, Evaluation and Educational Policy; TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center; Center for Inter-national Higher Education; Burns Library of Rare Books and Special Collections; Robsham Theater Arts Center; McMullen Museum of Art; Center for Child, Family and Community Partnerships; Center for Corporate Citizen-ship; Center for Work and Family; Center for Irish Pro-grams; Urban Ecology Institute and Weston Observatory.

COLLEGECOLLEGEEDDIE PELLAGRINI

1918-2006Head Coach of Baseball 1957-88

Edward C. “Eddie” Pellagrini, a former major league baseball player who coached Boston College baseball teams from 1957 through 1988, died on Oct. 11, 2006 at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth. He was 88.

During his 30-season coaching career at the University, Mr. Pellagrini led his teams to 359 victories – a school record – along with 17 winning seasons, seven post-season berths in the NCAA district I playoffs and three appearances in the College World Series – 1960, 1961 and 1967.

A native of Roxbury, Mr. Pellagrini played in the Boston Red Sox’ minor league organi-zation after graduating from Roxbury Memorial High School. He spent four years in the US Navy during World War II and returned to make the Red Sox’ major league roster in time for the 1946 season.

In his Red Sox debut at Fenway Park on Opening Day, April 22, 1946, Mr. Pellagrini thrilled the hometown crowd by hitting a homerun in his first major league at-bat. The Red Sox went on to win the American League championship and play in the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals that year.

An infielder, Mr. Pellagrini played 11 years in the major leagues for the Red Sox, St. Louis Browns (now the Baltimore Orioles), Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates.

When he retired from professional baseball in 1957, he was hired by Boston College Athletic Director Bill Flynn to coach the Eagles’ team. Mr. Pellagrini was the first coach to be hired by Mr. Flynn, who also was appointed Athletic Director that same year.

Mr. Pellagrini, who was as revered for his baseball knowledge and engaging per-sonality as much as his coaching success, was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1994. He is the only Boston College representative to receive the ABCA honor.

On May 3, 1997, Boston College named the baseball diamond on Commander Shea Field in Eddie Pellagrini’s honor. The plaque at the entrance to the baseball field reads:

“A Teacher, Coach, Folklorist and FriendTo Anyone Who Shared His Undying Love

For the Sport of Baseball.Eddie Pellagrini Is A ‘Major Leaguer’

In Every Sense of the Term.”

This past April, Mr. Pellagrini joined other surviving members of the Red Sox’ 1946 World Series team for a special Opening Day tribute to the legendary squad held at Fenway Park.

Mr. Pellagrini lived in Weymouth for many years, where he operated a successful real estate business.

Mr. Pellagrini was the husband of the late Helen Pellagrini. He is survived by three children and two grandchildren.

Eddie Pellagrini led the baseball Eagles to three appearances in the College World Series – 1960, 1961 and 1967. Here the team is pictured departing for the 1961 College World Series in Omaha.

This 1946 photograph features native Eddie Pellagrini, future Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Hang Greenburg and young Congressional candidate John F. Kennedy (photo courtesy of JFK Library).
