For many years, the athletic teams of the Norfolk Division of the College of William & Mary (as Old Dominion was formerly called) were known as the Braves.This was a derivation of the William & Mary nickname of Indians. As Old Dominion achieved its own four-year status and saw its enrollment surpass that of its Williamsburg neighbor, it was no longer suitable or acceptable to have its teams called the Braves. The name Monarchs evokes much of the early history of the Commonwealth of and of Old Dominion’s mother institution, the College of William and Mary. The nickname “Old Dominion” was first coined to the Virginia colony by King Charles II after Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War. Furthermore, William III and Mary II, whose patronage helped found the College of William and Mary in Virginia in 1693, ruled England at the invitation of Parliament as “joint monarchs.” The Monarch used by Old Dominion is a royal crown on a lion’s head, representing an historic past and a strong future. Old Dominion adopted its current family of logos in April 2002.

Old Dominion University Baseball 2008 27 BUD METHENY

n Jan 2, 2003 Old Dominion University and the athletic program lost a legend with the passing ofO Bud Metheny and his wife Fran on the same day. Bud spent 32 years at the University from 1948 to 1980 as an instructor, basketball coach, athletic director and coach of the baseball program. Baseball was his passion, and where he made his mark. As a member of the from 1937 to 1946, Bud played on the championship squad that stopped St. Louis. Bud started for the Yankees in the second and last game of the series. As a coach of the Monarchs, he rolled up a 423-363-6 record and was honored by the NCAA as the Eastern Regional coach of the year in 1963 and 64 and national coach of the year in 1964. His Monarchs won the NCAA College Division Eastern Regional championship in 1963 and 1964 and took second in 1965. Bud not only coached baseball, but he was the men’s basketball head coach from 1948-1965, compiling a 198-163 record and posting 16 winning seasons. He served as the University’s athletic director from 1963-1970. Following his retirement it was only fitting to honor Bud with the naming of the new baseball stadium in 1983 and with the adoption of the blue and white pin stripes of the Yankees on uniforms the following year, which coincides with the University’s new school colors, adopted in 1986. Bud and Fran were constant faces at ODU games in the spring, with their lawn chairs positioned behind home plate. Bud was the last New York Yankee to wear Babe Ruth’s famous No. 3 jersey as it was retired shortly after Bud’s departure. As the leader of Monarch teams, Bud wore the No. 3 with pride and that number is retired at the Bud Metheny Complex on the right field fence. Bud was enshrined in the Coaches Hall of Fame in January of 1983 in , TX., and is a member of the Old Dominion Sports Hall of Fame, the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame, the William and Mary Hall and the Tidewater Baseball Hall of Fame. The Bud Metheny Baseball complex was completed on the campus of Old Dominion University in 1983 and hailed as one of the most outstanding collegiate facilities on the East Coast. With seating capacity of 2,500 for Monarch games, “Bud’s Place,” as it is endearingly called by the players, allows Old Dominion to schedule some of the top baseball powers in the nation, in both night and day games. In the past, , St. John’s, Clemson, New Orleans, and North Carolina have competed at the stadium. Old Dominion hosted three Tournaments and the 1994 Bud Metheny’s New York Colonial Athletic Association Tournament, as well as various district and state high school championships.
