The fans relish one of the added features He acknowledges FAU has come a long on the stadium field: sideline berms where way since he came to the program in 1988. fans enjoy the games from lawn chairs shaded “We had to be creative,” he laughs, by graceful palm trees.

Probably the highest tide of picked up his 500th coaching victory and was Cooney’s career came in 2002 when FAU named Atlantic Sun Coach-of-the-Year; the first claimed its first NCAA Regional Championship FAU coach in a male sport to achieve that in a dramatic 6-5 victory in the ninth inning distinction.

The second season as an A-Sun member saw FAU take one step closer to the tournament title when they advanced to the championship game. Cooney’s keys to success as a coach can be attributed to his need to challenge his players, and his continued efforts to improve the strength of schedules. “Better competition motivates the team to play up to its potential,” says Cooney. “Now opponents also look to us to strengthen their schedules.” Before arriving at FAU in 1988, Cooney enjoyed four successful seasons as head coach at Montclair State College in New Jersey, where he compiled a 140-50-5 record. He guided Montclair State to four Mid-Atlantic Regional championships during his four-year stint with the Indians, and capped the achievements with a NCAA Division III World Series Championship. His achievement at Montclair State garnered him several awards, including the NCAA Division III District Coach- of-the-Year from 1985 to 1987 and New Jersey College Coach-of-the-Year in 1985. from 1970-1972.

7 FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY BASEBALL 2003

Florida Atlantic baseball players become a family. Like most other baseball teams, they spend hours on the field (their home), in the locker room and many times socially. Much like a family there are ups and downs, only in a game it is measured by wins and losses or statistically. During the 2002 season, and he will continue it in 2003, head coach Kevin Cooney accepted the challenge of chronicling the season. It was an opportunity to get inside “Coach’s Head” although we would all admit that might be a hard place to be. Coach penned the “Diamond Diaries.” He was faithful to the column and with the success of the season, it proved an invaluable tool to follow the team and capture a flicker of the excitement. It was a way for the game- day-fan to get to know the team and it allowed everyone to see the character of the individuals in the program. With Coach Cooney’s permission, the following pages are excerpts of “Diamond Diary” and just a few of the countless responses he received concerning the diary and the 2002 season.

MAY 25, 2002 Diamond Diary ONE STRIKE FROM A BUS RIDE! With one out in the ninth, Matt Pali singled to left center. Jeremiah by Kevin Cooney Creech pinch ran and represented the tying at first base against JU. Robbie Orton ripped a line drive to left center that looked to be in the gap for extra bases. But Chad Oliva raced to his left and made a diving catch. How many times lately have we seen this happen to us?

Freshman Derek Hutton stood in for his biggest college at bat. He drew a walk. The winning run was on base as we fought to stay alive in the tournament, and quite possibly, the season.

Walking to the plate was senior Bobby Spano. As he stepped into the box, I thought back to last year when he started to switch hit against this same JU team. I wondered how he felt stepping in for what could be his last at bat in college.

The count was 0-2 before you could blink. One more strike. One strike and JU is celebrating the second straight year sending us home. One more strike and I have to think of something to say to my kids. One more strike and we sit nervously watching ESPN on Monday, praying we see our name go up as a regional team. One more strike and we are on a bus back to Boca!

Great Season Coach!

The writers really portrayed FAU and yourself having a lot of class. Even though you came up short, you’ve come a long, long way.

There’s not a day that has gone by that I don’t remember something you’ve said or taught me that hasn’t helped me achieve in life. You are a true teacher. You inspire those around you without even trying. Everyone told Bobby Spano for the last three years that he can’t hit. Be You’re selfless and give 100% in order to see others achieve. But happy you are such a good fielder. You more runs than some guys most of all, you’re a very good person. You have a big heart and you drive home. Bobby’s heard it all.

Hutton was 3-for-5 and the other than winning feels good?” freshman flash, Jeff Fiorentino was 3-for-5 with three runs scored. It’s because you care.

The ninth inning!!!! (My heart just started racing again...three days later!!!)

Freshman Derek Hutton lays off a high and draws a leadoff walk. Senior Bobby Spano looks at me and gets the bunt sign. I turn to Lyttle and say, “The season is coming down to Spano and a bunt!” Lyttle’s reply? “He’s the best bunter in Alabama.” We both laughed and turned to watch Bobby lay down a textbook bunt and move Hutton into scoring position. Gabe Somarriba steps in and all our prayers turn to our senior captain. But a senior doesn’t always have to be the hero. Gabe flew out and freshman Jeff Fiorentino got ready to carve out his spot in FAU history. Jeff took a pitch and then drilled a single through first and second.

Tim McNab is a slow worker on the mound. In this situation he was PAINFULLY slow. Timmy struck out the first hitter. I could see he had good stuff but the hitter was Beau Hearod again. Tim held him to a single. Hearod moved up on a ball in the dirt so it now came down to getting two outs with the tying run on second and the noise level approaching a Springsteen concert in the Meadowlands! Timmy stared in, reached back and struck out the next hitter. One out to go. Spano walks toward the mound.

36 Kevin Kelleher P.A. ANNOUNCER

KEVIN KELLEHER, who is in his sixth season as the FAU baseball public address announcer, was recruited for his position, like every player on the field. He came to FAU as the longtime voice of the Boca Raton Bobcats, both baseball and football. FAU’s SID was at a BHS game with John McCormack, FAU’s associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. While the FAU coach was evaluating the performance on the field, the SID noticed the performance from the booth. Kelleher was asked to serve as the baseball PA announcer, and the rest is history. He also serves as the football announcer at Pro Player Stadium for FAU. Kelleher’s voice has become a regular sound on FAU’s campus, and his professionalism makes each game more enjoyable. He is one recruit FAU hopes will not run out of eligibility. origin of the blue wave

Newcomers to FAU Baseball always remark on the great looking logo adorning the players’ hats and uniforms. “Their mascot is the Owl. What is that wave doing?” These questions are the first step in learning the history of FAU Baseball. As with many traditions in college athletics, the origin of the Blue Wave has more than one story, so we will begin with the most recent, and work back. In the cold winter of 1988, a group of FAU coaches and the Director of Athletics were engaged in an after-hours discussion of the Owl as a mascot. It’s less than fearsome image had the group in search of something that would inspire and intimidate. The idea of keeping the Owl as a mascot but creating a nickname for the sports teams was born that night. There were a number of favorites argued over, but it was agreed FAU teams needed something using our color blue and denoting strength and power. “Big Blue” was taken already by Michigan and IBM, the “Sharks” by Spanish River HS. A student assistant basketball coach had the inspiration to focus on the nearby Atlantic Ocean: “What about the Blue Wave?” The question hung for a moment in the cold night air. At once the group knew it had found a winner. All that remained was to find a design that would work. Coach Cooney enlisted the help of pitcher Bob Boyle, an art major. The design you see is the result of Bob’s talent. After the 1999 season Coach Cooney received a congratulatory letter from alumnus Armand Grossman, who was a member of the first athletic team ever to compete for Florida Atlantic University in 1965. Mr. Grossman and his teammates played softball in the Boca Raton Men’s Softball League. Their nickname? The Blue Wave! In their second season, the Blue Wave placed seven players on the league all-star team. In 1999 eight Blue Wave players signed pro baseball contracts. The tradition continues.
