Leach, who came to Auburn from Selma, Alabama, helped pitch the Tigers to the 1976 College World Series. An arm injury his senior season transformed Leach from a power pitcher to a sidearmer, an adjustment that led an 11-year big league career that included a 1991 World Series title with the Minnesota Twins. “I only threw 80 miles an hour in the big leagues,” Leach recalled. “That takes guts when you’re pitching against Frank Thomas, Bo Jackson or Mike Schmidt. My 80 miles an hour was better than my 95 miles an hour. It taught me how to adapt and move on. Don’t quit.” In an 18-year professional career, Leach had only one guaranteed contract. “I loved the game,” he said. “Every year I had to make the team. It got to be a normal thing.” Leatherman, an infielder from 1988-91, helped the Tigers win the 1989 SEC Tournament before playing professionally in the Pirates’ organization and eventually becoming a physical therapist. An Auburn resident, Leatherman sees similarities between the Tigers’ program under former coach Hal Baird and current coach Butch Thompson “He taught us to do things the right way, to prepare and be hard-nosed, and to handle yourself with class. We owe a lot of that to Coach Baird. He put us in a good place to have success,” Leatherman said. “The great thing about it is I see the same things now. They’ve got the same values. We’re really proud of the state of the Auburn baseball program.” Waggoner, a Birmingham native who starred for Auburn from 1992-95, led the Tigers to the 1994 College World Series with a .409 batting average. “We had a bunch of guys on that team who liked to compete,” Waggoner said. “We weren’t intimidated, we weren’t scared. A really special team.”Next >
