Former LCSC coach Cheff to be inducted into National College Baseball Hall of Fame

Former Lewis-Clark State College baseball coach Ed Cheff will be inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame.

Cheff, who retired in 2010 after 34 seasons with the Warriors, was one of seven individuals named to the 2012 class. He is joined by a number of college baseball greats including former major leaguers Nomar Garciaparra, Lou Brock, and Brad Wilkerson. The 2012 class will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the College Baseball Night of Champions celebration on June 29-30 in Lubbock, Texas.

Cheff led the Warriors to an unprecedented 16 NAIA World Series titles and is the NAIA’s all-time leader in victories at one school. He posted a 1,705-430-2 record with LCSC for a .799 winning percentage. His win total ranks second only to Wichita State’s Gene Stephenson’s 1,763 wins for most victories with the same program in all of college baseball.
