On a gorgeous winter evening made for milk-shake slurpers, baseball aficionados and Hurricanes fans of all ages, the University of Miami four-time national championship baseball program signaled that Opening Day is near with its annual Fan Fest & Alumni Game.
The Saturday celebration at Mark Light Field drew the 2017 Hurricanes, hundreds of fans and dozens of former greats looking forward to the Canes’ home opener against Rutgers at 7 p.m. Friday.
“It’s fun to see a lot of the same people year after year,” said UM coach Jim Morris, as he and his players signed autographs before the game.
