Sad news for the SOW Mike Martin has died

Sad to hear

 

While I hate FSU baseball with a red hot passion I never want anything bad to happen to them other than losing games.

We joke about him being the Lord of No Rings but he really put together a great run of high level baseball in Tally.

 

Lewy body dementia.. the long goodbye. I’ve been around it with those who’ve had it . So darn sad for the loved ones .

 

This is what Jan’s mother had. For sure it’s a long demanding time for him and his family……I will leave it there……

 

hopefully his long trips to the mound carry over here.

 

Certainly understand William !!

 

Met him a few times. Great guy for sure.

 

Sad to hear.

 

I mean this with the greatest respect, not wanting to make jokes while #11 is still here. But I hope for his sake when the time comes, the hearse driver is asked to drive extra slow on his last trip out to the mound. It would only be fitting.

 

I hated him as a rival, but not as a person. Seems like a really great guy to me. Hate to hear this news. God bless #11.

Mike Martin is a good man .Prayers for him as he steps onto the big Field. Met him at several golf tournaments thru the years . He was also my PE coach in 67 at Cobb Junior High.

 

Martin, who will turn 80 on February 12, is the all-time winningest coach in college baseball. The Charlotte, N.C., native, who played baseball at Florida State, compiled a record of 2,029-736-4 (73.28 percent) during 40 seasons of collegiate coaching, all at Florida State.

Following his retirement in the summer of 2019, Martin was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame and FSU athletics hall of fame.

Over four decades as its head coach, Martin became part of the fabric of the Tallahassee Community not just as the Seminoles' head coach but because of the number of Tallahassee youth and adults involved in the Mike Martin baseball camps.

Just saw Coach Martin passed away. RIP

 

I've know him for a long time. What a journey. Rest in peace 11.

 

Tragic news. I sure made fun of him a lot, but it was in good sportsmanship.

Rest in peace, 11. Condolences to his family.

 

This is why we need a SAD and CRYING rating for postings......
