A Look Back: Baseball in Samford's Past

Baseball season is upon us. So the today the Special Collection is sharing three photos of teams of the past.
 

One of the earliest baseball photos we have is undated, though we believe it comes from the turn of the century. 

Next, Coach Virgil Ledbitter poses with two students in this 1962 shot, just three years before our name change.

Lastly, the whole team poses in a full color photograph in 1983.
