Gillespie Scoreboard
USC baseball coach Frank Cruz said Friday night that the scoreboard at Dedeaux Field will be named after former coach Mike Gillespie at a baseball alumni dinner at the Galen Center.
Gillespie said he did not know what to say because he was fired and then USC named a scoreboard after him. He joked that his detractors on Internet message boards can use the scoreboard for target practice.
Unfortunately Gillespie never got the accolades he deserved. He did a great job given his teams were raided by the pros every year.
Agree, but when he was fired, it was like John Robinson. It was time to move on. No fire in the belly. UCI reignited Mike. He'd be great coming back.
