Baseball 1965-1982

Pat served as the head baseball coach on the Centerville campus from 1965–1982. He led the Falcons to their first-ever trip to the Junior College World Series in 1973 and took them back to the series again in 1981. In his 16 seasons as head coach, Pat’s teams compiled a record of 640-245, an average of 40 wins per year. They topped all college teams in Iowa in wins in 1976 when they just missed out on a trip to the World Series. While in Centerville, Pat was also an assistant football coach for the Falcons. He left Indian Hills in ‘82 to accept a baseball position in the Montreal Expos organization, having worked for the Expos during the previous 10 summers as a manager in the clubs' minor league system.  Pat was still working for the Expos when he had a chance to take a position with the Colorado Rockies and he is still a member of the Rockies organization, currently serving as a special assistant to the general manger. As a testament to his widespread success, the well-respected former IHCC coach has been inducted into four Hall of Fames.
