On May 27, 2000, Hal Baird coached his final game as Auburn's baseball coach. The Tiger fell to Stetson in the Atlanta Regional, 13-10. During his time at Auburn, Baird guided the Tigers to a pair of SEC Tournament Championships and two trips to the College World Series. Big leaguers Gregg Olson, Bo Jackson, Scott Sullivan, Frank Thomas, Mark Bellhorn, David Ross and Tim Hudson, to name a few, played college baseball for Hal. When he stepped down, Baird was the winningest coach in Auburn athletics history. That mark stands today. Since his time as baseball coach, Baird spent time in Administration for Auburn Athletics. Hal Baird is the subject of this Talking Tigers Podcast, presented by Wickles Pickles.
