With Mississippi State baseball preparing for the SEC tournament, a pinch-hitter was called in for a speech at the annual Ferris Trophy Ceremony on May 19.
Ron Polk, the legendary MSU coach, filled in for interim Justin Parker to talk about trophy finalist Ace Reese. His speech was full of jokes, including him announcing that he’s not a candidate for the opening after Chris Lemonis was fired on April 28.
Polk, who coached the Bulldogs twice for 29 seasons from 1976-97 and 2002-08, also jabbed at Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco.
