The collegiate baseball world lost a legend. Marquess was the HC at Stanford from 1977 to 2017 leading them to fourteen trips to Omaha and back-to-back titles in '87 and '88.

Great coach.

On another note, which is ridiculous, Stanford no longer has a head coach. They have a "Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Director of Baseball." And they have a "Jaquish & Kenninger Director and Chair of Athletics." WTH?

Years back they allowed donors to bid on naming rights for their AD and coaching positions. I first saw it back when David Shaw was their FB coach. There are a couple other schools that have similar titles. Private schools have to get creative with athletic funding.

I get why they do it, but it looks ridiculous and desperate.
