Just minutes after the College Baseball Hall of Fame released the election of 21 new members, a text was sent to Norm DeBriyn. I wanted to congratulate the first left-handed catcher to be named.
The legendary former Arkansas coach replied instantly, “Clay, that’s funny, a great comment. Only a few of us know that’s correct.”
It’s a glorious day for Razorback Nation. I can hardly wait until DeBriyn’s induction Feb. 12. Not only will a great coach be honored, but also a giant of a human being, a deacon in the Catholic Church with a servant’s heart.
