Doug Smock: Here's to 12 more years of Herd baseball

Marshall’s Corey Bird dives to catch a line drive at Appalachian Power Park. Without a stadium in Huntington, the Herd has been playing at the Charleston park for 12 years.

AS A Charleston sportswriter who covers Marshall athletics, I would like to thank the university leadership for giving our fair town 12 years of Thundering Herd baseball.

Has it been that long? Yep.

I’m sure MU coach Jeff Waggoner will tell you. He has been playing most of his Conference USA home games in Charleston for his 10-year tenure.

Wow. Has Wags been around 10 years?
