Award named for Olerud; 2010 College HOF inductees chosen
John Olerud got an award named after him yesterday.
The College Baseball Foundation announced today the creation of the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award to be presented annually as part of the College Baseball Awards Show.
Olerud (right) who is now a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame, was a pitcher and first baseman, and a pretty good one at that, with Washington State University in the years 1987-1989.
Speaking of the College Baseball HOF, the 2010 inductees have been chosen. Leading the way was former Met Dave Magadan who hit .525 as a senior for the Crimson Tide. That was 1983, the year he was Baseball America’s Player of the Year.
Also on the list:
Alan Bannister from Arizona State. He was a .355 career hitter.
George Sisler (you might have heard of him): He hit .445 his sophomore year and .451 his senior year for Michigan.
B.J. Surhoff who played for North Carolina from 1983-1985. Career BA of .392.
Others include: Bob Bennett (Fresno State, coach 1977-2002), Eddy Furniss (LSU, 1995-1998), Don Heinkel (Wichita State, 1979-1982), Charles Teague (Wake Forest, 1947-1950) and Richard Wortham (Texas, 1973-1976).
The induction ceremony will take place on July 1.

Game one saw LSU overcome five Texas home runs, winning in the 11th inning when Mikie Mahtook singled home D.J. LeMahieu for a 7-6 win. The Longhorns rebounded to win game 2 behind Taylor Jungmann, who pitched a complete game, allowing only 5 hits, & one run, as Texas won 5-1. A five run LSU sixth inning busted open a close game as the Tigers cruised to an 11-4 victory, and the NCAA Baseball Championship.
37-6, it sounds like a football score, but the Seminoles never scored that much in football, this was a regional game between Ohio State and Florida State. The Buckeyes trailed 32-0 after five innings of play, starting pitcher Jared Strayer was tagged for seven runs before getting an out, while their fifth hurler Andrew Armstrong allowed 11 runs in one third of an inning.
