MISSOURI SOUTHERN BASEBALL DUGOUT CLUB

As you can imagine, we are very busy gearing up for Missouri Southern Baseball in 2010. Our ultimate goal is to give our student-athletes the best possible collegiate experience they can have. We want them to carry themselves with pride. We want them to present themselves in a first-class manner, and we want to always uphold the tradition of success that Southern Baseball has established over the years.

The 2009 Missouri Southern Baseball Program saw a season of firsts as the Lions advanced to the four-team MIAA Baseball Tournament for the first time since 2002 and defeated 11th ranked Central Missouri 10-0 in the first round. The Lions also defeated then third ranked and eventual NCAA Division II Runner Up Emporia State three out of four games at Joe Becker Stadium in the regular season. The 35 wins for Southern was the most for a Lions squad since the 2001 season and the Lions also had eight players named All-MIAA. With your support in 2009, we achieved one of our goals of making the MIAA Tournament, but we want to soar higher. We want the Missouri Southern Baseball Program to be a permanent presence in the conference tournament, as well as advancing to and past an NCAA Regional. With your support, we can reach this goal.

While preparing for the 2010 season, there are certain areas that have to be addressed immediately if we want to run the type of quality program that you can be proud of. These are areas that I feel are very important to our program, but they are areas that can't be addressed without help from you, our "Friends of Southern Baseball."

We have introduced a club comprised of former Southern Baseball players, fans, parents and other friends who want to see this program succeed. We call this venture the "Dugout Club," and want you to be a part of it. Membership levels are detailed below, and members will be recognized on our website and on a "Dugout Club" sign at all home games. Additionally in 2010, admission will be charged at all MSSU home baseball games at Joe Becker Stadium. However, any support at any level of the Southern Baseball Dugout Club will result in free admission at all Lions home baseball games.
