Last year, former Notre Dame basketball coach [autotag]Mike Brey[/autotag] popped up in random places around campus. It was part of an effort on his part to get students out to his team’s games. With Brey having departed though, someone in the athletic department needs to pick up the slack. Apparently, that someone is first-year baseball coach [autotag]Shawn Stiffler[/autotag], who crashed a finance class and was there to do more than just promote this weekend’s three-game series against North Carolina:
If this isn’t an invitation to literally everyone on campus to come to baseball practice, I don’t know what is. After watching this, I wonder if he would let me take batting practice even though I’m not enrolled at or employed by the university and I haven’t swung a bat in a long time.
I didn’t know I needed this to happen in my life, but I think I do now. Coach, if you’re reading this, mind if I make the two-hour drive to South Bend so this lefty hitter can continuously pull the ball weakly to the right?
