7 HEAD COACH JOE JORDANO

THE WORD ON JORDANO...

“Joe Jordano is a proven winner because he knows what it takes to win. He is very knowledgeable and gets the most out of his players. Coach Jordano has done a lot for my career and if it weren't for him, I would not be in the big leagues today. My transition to this level was very easy, simply because his program operates very similar to the way a professional organization is run. I cannot say enough about him. I would recommend Coach Jordano to anyone.” — Former MLB Pitcher David Lee

47 BASEBALL FACILITIES

Trees Field... Located behind the Cost Center with a striking view of the downtown skyline is Trees Field, home of the Pittsburgh Pan- ther baseball team. Prior to the 1999 sea- son, the park underwent a renovation worth over $500,000, including the in- stallation of a brand new major league-cali- ber astroturf infield and lights. In addition, two all-purpose astroturf fields adjoin Trees Field allowing for an additional prac- tice area.

Home of the Panthers... Locker Room The Pittsburgh baseball team uses a spacious locker room facility, located in Fitzgerald Field House. Added in 1999, the locker room includes pro-style indi- vidual wooden lockers and audio-visual systems for exclusive use by the Pan- thers. The new locker rooms provide an impressive home for all Pitt athletes. Additionally, the locker room provides easy access to a new state-of-the-art Olympic Sports Weight Room and equip- ment room.

Charles L. ...

One of the newest facilities at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh is the Cost Sports Center. This indoor facility is the prac- tice arena for the baseball team during inclement weather and was recently re- furbished with new astroturf. The team uses it for workouts, especially batting practice, and to host winter DIAMOND BASEBALL CLINICS. The Cost Center is large enough to house a regulation foot- ball field or nine tennis courts. The facility was named after former running back Charles L. Cost, who donated more than $1 million for its construction. 48
