  • Records and History
    Records and History Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 27 BUD METHENY n Jan 2, 2003 Old Dominion University and the athletic program lost a legend with the passing of Bud MethenyO 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 New York Yankees from 1937 to 1946, Bud played on the 1943 World Series 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.

Comprehensive and scholarlyBy WDX2BBIf Home Box Office is looking for a subject for another in its series of superb sports documentaries (it really has little competition in the field, although NBC has done some good work lately), the 1967 Boston Red Sox is a great candidate.The Red Sox of '67 changed baseball forever. The team went from ninth to first and came within a game of winning the World Series. More importantly, it rejuvenated interest in baseball throughout New England -- we are still feeling the effects of that today -- and probably saved Fenway Park from the wrecking ball. The rivalry against the Yankees probably never gets going again without that '67 team.A few books have been written on that team over the years. "The 1967 Impossible Dream Red Sox" certainly is the most comprehensive.
