School board names baseball field after long time coach
Bob Beck has just hit the ultimate home run - having the Ontario High School baseball field named after him.
Beck's record includes 11 league titles, California Interscholastic Federation championship, state championship, a perfect season in 1991 and his team was named California Team of the year in 1991.
Under Beck's coaching, 47 players have gone onto play college baseball and 15 players have signed professional contracts.
After four decades of service to the district Beck retired in June 2007, however he continues to work for the district as Athletic Liaison to CIF and to ensure that ethics and fair play is the standard for all schools in the district.
I was on Coach Beck's first team at Ontario High School in 1968, prior his military service. There was no better role model to follow as a young kid, and he has touched thousands of lives since then. I am thankful I could be there for the field dedication on February 7th. Knowing him for over 40 years has been an honor.
