YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Michigan Baseball Hall of Fame inducted longtime Eastern Michigan University Head Baseball Coach Ron Oestrike, along with Detroit Tigers slugger Willie Horton Saturday, Aug.17, in an in-game ceremony during the Lansing Lugnuts/Dayton Dragons game at Cooley Law School Stadium.

A night characterized by a picturesque sunset, numerous stories (many filled with laughs) about the late coach, and the game he loved, more than 30 members of the Oestrike and Horton families gathered to take part in the induction ceremony, which included video tributes and a plaque unveiling for each inductee.
