As a part of the Centennial Celebration, The Valley is naming all-centennial teams for each of the Valley’s sponsored sports, including baseball The list of the top players and all-time greatest coach was determined through online fan voting (www.mvc100.org), with input from a centennial committee. More than 500 votes were cast for baseball while all nine of the current league institutions have at least two representatives on the team. Fans voted for players from 1975-present, while a centennial committee recognized players who were in the league prior to 1975 (see page three of release for The Early Years). Joe Carter of Wichita State was the top vote-getter . The league’s Player of the Year award is named after the former Shocker. Gene Stephen- son of Wichita State was voted the all-time greatest coach in MVC Baseball history, which includes an historic run to an NCAA National Champion- ship in 1989. Included in the list are former and current Major League Baseball greats, members of institutional as well as the Valley Hall of Fame and na- tional collegeiate players of the year in baseball. In the league’s fi rst 99 seasons, inclusive of all MVC-sponsored sports, 32 members combined for 27 national championships, while 55 Valley student-athletes captured NCAA individual titles.

  • The Real Housing Story
    The Real Housing Story ( Learn how Aptos has housed aspiring professional Tennis players for 20 years ) By Brent Ainsworth Professional tennis players don’t sign guaranteed contracts to play on the ATP tour. There are no signing bonuses upon turning pro. Paychecks aren’t automatically deposited on the first and 15 th of the month, and there’s no such thing as a paid vacation. If the players you see at the $75,000 Comerica Challenger this week play well, they’ll get paid well accordingly. The singles champion will nab $10,800 – not bad at all. But that’s just one lucky (and talented) guy out 32 in the draw. And potentially 28 more might’ve traveled to Seascape Sports Club just for the qualifying tournament, to fight for four coveted spots in the main draw, and failed to make it. Some players have to stop touring more because they run out of cash than because they believe they can’t win. That’s why the free housing provided by Seascape club members and other friends of the tournament is so critical. This tournament is called “75+H,” which means there is $75,000 in prize money plus hospitality, which gives the players the option of paying for their own hotel or motel rooms or stay for free with members of the host club. Usually it’s the more established pros who have experienced a level of success through the years who can afford to pay for hotels week after week. But most of the rookies will gladly take up a Seascape member on the offer and shack up with a brand new friend or family.
