LANSING, Mich. – A fitting honor for a tremendous baseball man.

And an even better gentleman.

Central Michigan legend Dave Keilitz was inducted into the Michigan Baseball Hall of Fame on Saturday night in a ceremony during the Lansing Lugnuts baseball game with the Bowling Green Hot Rods at Cooley Law School Stadium.

Keilitz’s plaque was unveiled in the hall, which is located above left and center field at the stadium. He was inducted along with Kalamazoo native Derek Jeter, and the two comprise the hall’s fourth class.
