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.
