After 31 years coaching for the Northwestern baseball program, Stevens managed his final game Saturday.
It was a Thursday night in Evanston, and everything was coming back to Paul Stevens. With the end of a 31-year career now frighteningly near, it was all coming full circle. No, the longtime Northwestern baseball coach wasn't reflecting on his time at NU. He wasn't letting the past overwhelm the present. In fact, just that afternoon, he had begun his final series with a 1-0 win over Maryland. So no, it wasn't thoughts that were coming back to him.
No, they were coming back to him.
