Former ASU Coach Jim Brock Is Inducted into Hall of Fame

The man who took the Arizona State Sun Devils to 13 College World Series and won two national championships was inducted into college baseball's Hall of Fame on Independence Day.  ASU's Jim Brock became one of only five coaches to ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Brock coached the Sun Devils from 1970 to 1994 and won the Pac-10 coach of the year award five times.  Shortly after the 1994 College World Series, Brock died from the cancer with which he had been struggling with for a long time.  Brock's final record was 1100-440 making it no surprise that Brock received the award.
