"As the first baseball player to be inducted, I am reminded of my teammates, or as we called ourselves "F Troop". We were a family and this honor belongs to them as much as it does to me. Virginia Wesleyan has given me so much --my 34-year career in public education got its start on this very campus. This College will always be an integral part of the love and support I've had throughout my life and this induction is just another reminder to me of how lucky I am. Thank you." -Tim Albert
