For most in life, the time usually comes when one must move on. Such has been the case for Wes Rea.
The former Mississippi State first baseman, a beloved figure for the Bulldogs over the course of his playing career from 2012 through 2015, now works alongside his father at Gulf Coast Business Supply in Gulfport. While he’s no longer hitting balls into Dudy Noble Field’s Left Field Lounge, Rea is still, as late MSU sportscaster Jack Crisitl might say, wrapped in maroon and white.
He frequently reminisces of his time at State, with one spring in particular standing out.
