COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Ex-Clemson baseball coach Jack Leggett wished the Tigers success, even without their longtime leader at the top step of the dugout.
Leggett issued a statement Friday, a day after he was fired by Clemson after 22 seasons. He led the Tigers to six College World Series' appearances, the last one coming in 2010.
Leggett said he put ''his heart and soul'' into the program, and thanked his past players and coaches after nearly a quarter century with the Tigers.
''I'm extremely proud to have been their coach and teacher and of all our accomplishments together,'' Leggett said.
