| Baseball coach Mike McRae |
Canisius coach Mike McRae will be available in the Student Center Conference room, March 25 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. to discuss “anything and everything” about baseball. Spring training has begun for major leaguers and the Griffs are already 15 games into their season, so it must be the time of the year to talk a little baseball.
Whether your interest is directed toward the American or National League, you like the Red Sox, Yankees, Mets or Jays, or want to talk about the Griffs chances of making their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament, this is an hour tailor-made just for you. McRae will also give updates on the three Griffs currently playing professional baseball, including John Axford who made it to the majors last year with the Brewers.
Bring your own lunch, if you like. Please RSVP to John Maddock at Ext. 2977 if you are interested in attending.
