compiling a complete history of university of New haven Baseball would take far more than one page, and the countless stories could go on and on, so we’ll call this a “Brief history” of charger Baseball.

the university of New haven has one of the most storied baseball programs in the history of Ncaa division II. ask any fan of uNh Baseball, or really any fan of a team in the Northeast, and they’ll tell you that a discussion of charger Baseball begins and ends with one man - legendary former head coach Frank “Porky” Vieira.

Vieira is the true “father” of the uNh Baseball program, and until the 2007 season, the only coach the school had ever known. he founded the program in 1963. under Vieira, who retired following the 2006 season, the uNh baseball program posted an all-time record of 1,127-324-6 in 44 seasons. that included a string of 42 straight winning seasons from 1963 to 2004, and 43 winning seasons overall.

No matter how you break down the numbers, Vieira is one of the all-time greatest in the college game.

at the start of the 2013 season, he was second among all-time division II coaches with a career winning percentage of .776, and fourth among d-II coaches in total victories. “coach V” also ranks eighth on the all-time, all-division coaching records list in terms of winning percentage and 34th in total wins. he is one of only 35 coaches to ever win at least 1,100 games at any division of college baseball.

Vieira’s achievements have not gone unrecognized by the media or his peers. Featured in several publications including Sports Illustrated, he received the “Gold Key” from the connecticut Sports Writers association

and was named coach of the Year numerous times for the Ncaa Northeast Region as well as the New england collegiate conference (Necc) and the east coast conference (ecc).

Over theprogram’s first50 seasons,UNHBaseball has made 32 Regional tournament appearances (27 Ncaa, 5 NaIa) and earned 17 college World Series berths (15 Ncaa, 2 NaIa). uNh has 81 postseason wins in all, the third-most of any school in Ncaa division II history, and advanced to the college World Series a school-record seven consecutive times from 1984 to 1990. the team’s best finishescameasNCAARunners-Upin1980and 1989, when uNh fell to cal Poly San

luis Obispo, which later had its participation vacated due to ineligible players.

CoachVieiraisthefirstonetotellyouthatagreat coach can’t do anything without great players - and uNh has certainly had its share. uNh has produced over 80 players who have gone on to play professional baseball, including 10 players who made it to Major league Baseball.

Notably, uNh is one of only 14 schools to have produced a player that would later go on to win the Major league Baseball cy Young award. Former charger great Steve Bedrosian went on to earn the Nl cy Young award while a member of the Philadelphia Phillies in 1987, saving 40 of the team’s 80 wins that season. cameron drew was the program’s first-ever FirstRoundDraft Pickwith his selection in 1985. dave Wallace has been a respected professional coach since 1981, and won a World Series as pitching coach with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. this list goes on and on.

(For a more complete list of players in the pros, see the “chargers in the Pros” page in the back of this guide.)

even some of those players who didn’t go on to play professionally had standout careers on the diamond for uNh. Further evidence of the chargers’ contributions to the sport can be found in the Ncaa Record Book, where you’ll see the words “New haven” 60 times among the various team and individual records.

Steven h. Kaplan, Ph.d., university PresidentSince becoming president of the university of New haven in 2004, Steven h. Kaplan, Ph.d. has led the university of New haven through a period of remarkable growth and development. In thepast fiveyears alone, enrollment has grown by 34 percent to more than 6,400 undergraduate and graduate students, who

hail from 35 states and some 45 countries. Full-time undergraduate enrollment has grown by 59 percent and applications have increased by 176 percent. during this time, the university has completed over $100 million in construction projects and has launched 15 new academic programs.

uNh now ranks among the top comprehensive universities in the North and boasts nationally ranked programs in a number of majors across business, criminal justice, engineering, forensic science, and the liberal arts and sciences. In recognition of his contributions to transforming the university, dr. Kaplan was named “Businessman of the Year” by Business New haven magazine in 2008.

President Kaplan also was awarded the 2011 William M. Burke Presidential award for experiential education by the National Society for experiential education. the award recognizes President Kaplan’s efforts to make uNh a national leader in experiential education, requiring every undergraduate student to complete an internship, an academic service learning experience, international study or a faculty-mentored research

project before graduation.
