PHOENIX – The Greatest Tradition in College Baseball will recognize the architect of its decades-long success with the unveiling and dedication of a statue in honor of the late Bobby Winkles, which will be unveiled on Friday, April 12, ahead of the team's opener against Utah.
Enshrinement with a statue at ASU is reserved for the few who made such a profound impact on a program or institution that they are worthy of a lifetime of remembrance. Winkles will join Sun Devil Football legends Frank Kush and Pat Tillman as the third individual in university athletics history to be recognized with such a prestigious honor.
