The Pete and Laura Leddy Baseball Endowed Scholarship Fund to honor Jim Hendry was established in 2016 by Pete and Laura Leddy in honor of former Creighton Baseball head coach Jim Hendry. The endowment was first announced last Saturday night during the 2016 Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame Banquet where CU's 1991 College World Series team was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
While providing scholarship support for current Baseball student-athletes, this endowment also shows appreciation for Hendry's success at Creighton and his dedication to the program since his departure. A critical element to continued program success was his passion for personally connecting with each of his student-athletes.
