RECAP - Arizona Baseball Alumni Weekend 2022
A-Club was proud to welcomed over 100 Baseball alumni letterwinners back to Tucson for our Baseball Alumni weekend. Letterwinners reconnected at our alumni dinner inside the Terry Francona Hitting Center on Friday night and enjoyed watching our Men's Basketball team crush the Sun Devils at a game watch event inside the beautiful Arizona Sands Club on Saturday afternoon. We were excited to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of our 1992 Pac 10 Championship team as well as the 10 year anniversary of our 2012 NCAA National Championship Team. It was great seeing so many baseball alums back in Tucson celebrating the program's storied history and bright future. We hope to see more of our Wildcat family cheering on Chip Hale and the current team this season!
Retirement Celebration for Head Coach Mike Candrea
Our legendary head coach, Mike Candrea announced his retirement following the 2021 season. After 36 years at Arizona Coach Candrea leaves a legacy that will live among the greatest coaches in the history of college athletics. Arizona Athletics was proud to celebrate Coach last this past weekend and couldn't be happier to welcome back over 90 Arizona Softball Letterwinners who came back to Tucson to celebrate this special man. Thank you to everyone who attended and congratulations Coach Candrea!
