Michigan Varsity to Face Alumni Squad in Exhibition
9/26/2002 12:00:00 AM | Baseball
The original plans for the Baseball Alumni Weekend, which starts Saturday (Sept. 28) with a golf outing, had called for a game with two teams of alumni players, but Maloney was able to make the change in plans. With the change in format the varsity-alumni game will be the first game for the Wolverines under their first-year head coach.
Former Wolverines who are expected for the Alumni Weekend include:
- 3B Mike Cervenak (1996-99), U-M's all-time hit leader; played this season for the New York Yankees' Norwich Navigators, AA champs
- 2B Scott Tousa (1998-2001), Lakeland Tigers
- OF Scott Weaver (1993-95), the last Wolverine to hit .400 (.418 in '95)
- RHP Bill Zepp (1965-67), played for Twins and Tigers
- OF Brian Bush (1996-99), member of Philadelphia Phillies organization
- 1B Bill Mogk (1951-53), captain of 1953 national champs; 'M' Hall of Honor
- 2B Jeff Jacobson (1980-83), All-American
- OF Fred Erdmann (1980-83), Big Ten batting champ
- RHPs Luke Bonner (1996-99) and Ryan Kelley (1996-99), who both appeared in Billy Crystal's HBO movie 61*
The Baseball Alumni Weekend features a Saturday (Sept.28) golf outing that is open to alumni and members of the public.
