Before they were coaches: Dave Van Horn and Matt Hobbs

FAYETTEVILLE — Dave Van Horn never missed a day of work at the Kansas City 3&2 Baseball Complex.

Made up of four baseball fields backed up to one another and one larger stadium roughly 50 yards away, the complex was not only where Arkansas’ longtime baseball coach played games in the summer sun when he was 13-15 years old, it was the site of his first job.

It was a seven-days-a-week gig and it started prior to the summer baseball season getting underway. For two consecutive months each year, Van Horn would show up to work at 7 a.
