As UNC baseball revs up for a new season, one of the program’s greats will be honored next month as Coach Mike Fox will be inducted as a new member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame on February 13th in Overland Park, Kansas.
A UNC grad and Asheville, NC native, Fox played second base for the Diamond Heels from 1976-1978 and also played for Eddie Fogler’s JV basketball squad in ‘75 and ‘76.
Fox was a head coach for 37 years before retiring in 2020. He coached at NC Wesleyan for 15 years before taking the reins for 22 years at Carolina beginning in 1999.
