His Minor League career highlights include 1959 Rookie of the Year, back-to-back league batting championships and league Most Valuable Player. He has also enjoyed success as a baseball coach, holding the head coaching position at Howard University for twenty eight years. No other MEAC team has won more championships or more games.
