The Spartan baseball program will honor Earl Morrall as its Alumnus of the Year at the annual First Pitch Dinner at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Kellogg Center. In addition, former Spartan All-American and current Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson will be on hand for a jersey recognition.
Morrall was on the 1954 Big Ten championship MSU team that advanced to the College World Series. He also was the quarterback of the 1954 and 1956 Rose Bowl champion football teams.
Following his time at MSU, Morrall went on to play 21 years in the NFL and was a part of three Super Bowl championship teams.
Tickets for the First Pitch Dinner range from $20 for children and students, $30 for Spartan baseball alumni and $50 each for adults.
