“I just want to be remembered as a guy that did it right.”
Legendary Florida State Seminoles baseball head coach Mike Martin Sr., the all-time winningest coach in collegiate athletic history, passed away today at the age of 79. He had entered hospice care following a battle with Lewy body dementia, news of which came out last October.
Today we mourn with the Martin family the passing of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and baseball coach.
