A legend's victory lap: What Scott Berry's legacy looks like inside Southern Miss baseball

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Scott Berry furrows his brow and takes a puff from his cigar as he considers the question.

He’s settled aside an outdoor patio table at Southern Miss baseball’s team hotel, just a stone’s throw from Riverwalk Stadium, where the Golden Eagles had just booked their place in the Sun Belt Tournament final.

This has been something of a postgame habit for Berry, especially after wins – 523 of them during 14 seasons as Southern Miss’ baseball coach. Soon, though, that total will stop growing. Berry announced May 16 that this season will be his last, and now, he’s been asked to define the legacy he’ll leave behind.
