I have long thought that Marshall University's athletic department was a class act, from administrators and coaches down to the student managers. And that proved to be true last week when the Old Dominion University's baseball team bused into Huntington, West Virginia to play four games in three days.
ODU coach Chris Finwood recently lost his wife, Annette Finwood, to pancreatic cancer. When Marshall took the field, the players did so in purple socks and with purple arm bands.
Finwood teared up when he saw all the purple.
