It’s Tuesday, Florida State fans. Monday may have not ended the way we wanted it to for Florida State’s women’s basketball team, but it is a new day. We’ll try to get you through it by updating the news and notes section.
Lead Story
Next month, one Florida State baseball legend will be immortalized. In a release sent Monday, FSU announced it would retire the No. 39 jersey of former Golden Spikes Award winner, J.D. Drew.
Arguably the best player ever to play at FSU, Drew was a 2-time Consensus All-American, hitting .391 with 69 home runs over the course of his career. As a junior in 1997, Drew not only won the Golden Spikes Award, but he became the first 30-30 man in college baseball history.
The former outfielder’s jersey will be retired on April 15 when the Seminoles take on Clemson. A 2016 National College Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, Drew will become just the second FSU baseball player to have his jersey retired, along with Dick Howser.
