Miami Baseball Hall of Famer

Walter Alston, Dodgers 1976.

Walter Alston lettered three years for Miami in both baseball and basketball. He played professionally for the St. Louis Cardinals organization, playing just one game at the major league level (two innings, one at bat) in 1936. After stints in the minors as both a player and manager, Alston returned to the big leagues with the Brooklyn Dodgers as manager in 1954, then moved with the team to Los Angeles in 1958, where he coached until retiring in 1976.[5][6]

Alston won seven National League pennants in his 23 year tenure as Dodgers manager. The franchise won four world championships as well -- in 1955 with Brooklyn and in 1959, 1963 and 1965 with Los Angeles. Named Manager of the Year three times, Alston also guided a victorious National League All-Star squad a record seven times. He retired after the 1976 season with 2,063 wins (2,040 in the regular season and 23 in the postseason) and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983.[7][8]

Alston is a charter member of the Miami Athletics Hall of Fame,[9] inducted in 1969. In 2001, indicative of the history of developing coaches at the university, Alston was inducted into the Miami Cradle of Coaches alongside Miami legends such as Ara Parseghian, Weeb Ewbank and Paul Brown.[10]

Other Notable Miamians

Charlie Liebrandt, Royals, 1988

The first Miamian to play in the major leagues was Eddie Morgan of Lakewood, Ohio who played for two seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals (1936) and Brooklyn Dodgers (1937).[11] Buddy Schultz, an All-American for Miami in 1972, played for 5 seasons with the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals (1975-1979), but is famous for striking out 26 batters in a single game (a 27th out was a bunt fielded by Schultz) for Miami against Wright State in 1971, a NCAA record.[12][13][14][15]

Charlie Liebrandt, First Team All-MAC in 1978, won 140 games in a stellar 14-year MLB career, including helping the Kansas City Royals to a World Series title in 1985.[16][3] Steve Fireovid pitched for 6 seasons in the majors, but is perhaps best known as the subject of the book The 26th Man: One Minor League Pitcher's Pursuit of a Dream, written with fellow Miami alumnus Mark Winegardner. In 1990, while pitching for the Montreal ExposTriple-A affiliate Indianapolis Indians, Fireovid composed a journal of his experiences. The journal was turned into a book, The 26th Man: One Minor League Pitcher's Pursuit of a Dream in 1991.[17] The book was co-authored by Winegardner.[18]

Adam Eaton, Chicago White Sox, 2016

Bill Doran was a Miami All-American in 1979, would go on to 12-year professional career, and played for his hometown Cincinnati Reds during their 1990 World Series winning campaign.[19] Tim Naehring was the Mid-American Conference Baseball Player of the Year in 1988 and would play for 8 years with the Boston Red Sox.[4][20] Chris Sexton was an All-MAC player for three seasons (1991-1992) in Oxford, was honored as the second Miamian to win the MAC Player of the Year award and would play professionally for the Colorado Rockies (1995) and Cincinnati Reds (1997).

Adam Eaton was a two-time All-MAC player for Miami, would play professionally in the majors for 10-years, including a 2019 World Series title with the Washington Nationals.[21] Seth Varner was the 2014 MAC Pitcher of the Year, the only RedHawk pitcher to receive that honor.

And Miami continues to serve as a launching pad for coaches. Tracy Smith played for Miami (1985-1988), coached the RedHawks (1997-2005), including the 2005 MAC regular season and MAC Tournament championship team, and has also led Arizona State, Indiana and the Michigan Wolverines.[22] Smith was named the Big Ten and National Coach of the Year in 2014. Danny Hall was a 4-year letterman for Miami baseball (1974-1977), served as the head coach for Georgia Tech for over 30 years, and is a member of the Cradle of Coaches along with Smith.[10]

In total, since the Major League Baseball Draft began in 1965, Miami has had over 74 players selected. [23] Robert Bixler was the first Miamian ever drafted, in the 46th round by the Detroit Tigers in the inaugural draft, who would go unsigned.[24] Over 26 RedHawk players have appeared in the major leagues, [25] and 9 have been honored as All-American - Gary Cooper (1972), Buddy Schultz (1972), Dennis Smith (1973), Mark Naehring (1977), Bill Doran (1979), Jason Knoedler (2001), Michael Carlin (2002), Mike Ferris (2004), and John Slone (2004).[3]
