HEAD COACH JIM TYRRELL In his first season (2009) as the Moccasins’ head baseball coach, Jim Tyrrell guided the Moccasins to a 41-16 record that included runnerup finishes in the Sunshine State Conference and the NCAA South Regional. The Moccasins were ranked 8th in the final Division II Coaches Poll by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Three members of his 2009 squad were selected in the Major League Draft - Robbie Shields by the Mets in Round 3, Nick Stanley by the Astros in Round 25 and Will Cherry by the Mets in Round 38. Tyrrell officially assumed his head coaching duties on July 1, 2008. He had been named to the position Feb. 21 in conjunction with the announcement that former head coach Pete Meyer was relinquishing his coaching duties to become director of athletics. After serving four seasons as Meyer’s top assistant, Tyrrell is just the fifth head baseball coach since 1958 at FSC, following Meyer (2002-08), Chuck Anderson (1984-2002), Joe Arnold (1977-83) and Hal Smeltzly (1958-76).
He joined the Moccasin staff after serving as pitching coach at Old Dominion University in 2004. In his first FSC season in 2005, the Moccasin pitching staff led the Sunshine State Conference in ERA (3.46) and strikeouts (426), as FSC won the NCAA Division II championship. In charge of the Moccasin pitching staff in his four years as an assistant, Tyrrell has seen five of his Moccasin pitchers drafted. Kyle DeYoung, the MVP of the 2005 Division II Championship, was drafted by the Houston Astros’ organization. Dan Albritton and Brett Robinson, seniors on the 2007 squad, were drafted by the White Sox and Astros, respectively. Jeremy Thorne and Ryan Koch, seniors on the 2008 team, were selected by the Angels and Blue Jays, respectively, and currently are in those clubs’ minor league organizations. Tyrrell has a strong history of developing pitchers. One of his pitchers at Old Dominion was Justin Verlander, who now is a star with the Detroit Tigers. Verlander was the second player chosen in the 2004 Major League Draft and the 2006 American League Rookie of the Year. Under Tyrrell, the Old Dominion pitching staff set school records for strikeouts (471) and fewest walks (168) in a season. In addition to being the pitching coach at Old Dominion, Tyrrell also was the recruiting coordinator, the same duties he had as an assistant at Florida Southern. His appointment as the Moccasins’ head coach is his second head coaching position. Before going to Old Dominion, he was head baseball coach at Marist College in New York for the 2003 season, after serving three seasons there as the pitching coach. He led Marist to a 33-20-1 record and the pitching staff ranked 10th in earned run average in NCAA Division I. Four Marist players were drafted from that team. Overall, Marist won three conference championships and made three NCAA tournament appearances during Tyrrell’s tenure on the coaching staff. Tyrrell’s collegiate playing career began at Old Dominion, where he was 4-0 as a freshman pitcher. He spent his sophomore season at Dutchess Community College (N.Y.), before the Boston Red Sox drafted him in the 14th round of the 1992 free agent draft. He played for six seasons in the Red Sox’ organization before starting his coaching career. He received his bachelor’s degree from Marist in 2002.

ASSISTANT COACH AL CORBEIL Former Moccasin standout Al Corbeil completed his first season on the Florida Southern baseball staff as Jim Tyrrell’s top assistant in 2009. He helped lead the Moccasins to a 41-16 record that included runner-up finishes in the Sunshine State Conference and the NCAA South Regional. Corbeil played just one season for the Moccasins (2001), but he made it a good one. Starting all 53 games in the Moccasins’ 35-18 season, he hit .399 and led the team with 15 home runs and 62 RBI. Splitting time between the outfield and behind the plate, Corbeil compiled a .992 fielding average, committing just two errors in 236 chances. He was a first-team
All-SSC and All-South Region selection and a second-team AllAmerica selection. He was drafted in the 16th round by the Anaheim Angels and played seven seasons of professional baseball. Corbeil transferred to Florida Southern after playing one season at Division I Florida International, where he was a firstteam All-America selection and the 2000 Sun Belt Conference Player and Newcomer of the Year, hitting .399 with 13 home runs and 73 RBI. Prior to his one season at FIU, he played two seasons at Manatee Community College, earning first-team all-state and all-conference recognition both years. He hit .435 with 65 RBI as a freshman and hit .430 with 94 RBI as a sophomore. He graduated from Plantation High School in 1997. He hit .569 as a senior and was a first-team all state selection. Before returning to FSC, Corbeil was an assistant baseball coach at Manatee CC for three seasons. He and his wife, Whitney, reside in Lakeland.
ASSISTANT COACH BRAD COOK
ASSISTANT COACH COLLIN MARTIN
Brad Cook completed his first season as an assistant on the Moccasin baseball staff in 2009. Before coming to Florida Southern, Cook was the baseball coach at Johnson City (N.Y.) High School for two seasons, leading his team to the Class A state championship game in 2007. He had the Class A Player of the Year and a first-team all-state pitcher on his team. He was a junior college AllAmerican as an outfielder at Keystone Junior College before transferring to Marist College, where Jim Tyrrell was his pitching coach. Cook led the team in ERA in 2002 and Marist’s team ERA was fourth in the nation. Following his collegiate career, he played two seasons with the Elmira Pioneers of the Independent Northeast League. He received his bachelor’s degree in special education from Marist in 2003 and earned his master’s degree in middle school mathematics from Walden University in 2007. He was a special education teacher for four years before coming to Florida Southern.
Collin Martin is in his first season as a Moccasins assistant coach. He served as assistant coach at Winter Haven High School from 20062009 and spent this past summer as an assistant coach for the Cotuit Kettlers of the prestigious Cape Cod League. Before making the move to high school coaching, he coached professionally for the Florence Freedom of the independent Frontier League in 2007. Prior to getting into coaching, Collin played collegiately at Santa Fe Community College, where he was a first-team All MidConference selection in 2004. He transferred to Webber International for the 2005-2006 seasons. In 2006, he was a first-team All-Florida Sun Conference selection, a first-team All-Southern Region choice and an honorable mention NAIA All-American. After college, Martin signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Indians in 2006 and later with the Florence Freedom. He lives in Winter Haven and is the son of Philadelphia Phillies Manager, Charlie Manuel.

• Max Russell was named an All-American in 2009 becoming the 84th Moccasin to be so honored. Thirty-five of those were firstteam honorees. • Robbie Shields was picked in the third round of the 2009 June Draft, becoming the seventh Moccasin to be drafted in the top three rounds, including Ralph Citarella who was taken in the 1st round (12th pick overall) by the Cardinals in 1979.
• The Moccasins have a 475-168 record in Sunshine State Conference games since 1981 and a conference winning percentage of .739 – both are tops in the league.
• Ten Moccasins have made it to the Major Leagues, including Matt Joyce, a member of the 2005 Moccasins’ national championship team, who is with the Tampa Bay Rays. Brett Tomko, who helped pitch the 1995 Mocs to an NCAA crown, spent the longest time in “the show” totalling 13 seasons with seven different clubs.
• Closer Daniel Tillman was named the top Division II prospect by Baseball America’s 2010 Small College Preview. It is the second straight year a Moc has been so honored, as the magazine named shortstop Robbie Shields it’s top D2 pick last season.
• In 2006, Moccaisn Nick Diyorio set an NCAA Division II record by hitting in 49 consecutive games – a record that still stands.

Clare “Doc” Henley Ball Park (aka Henley Field) The Mocs play their home games at historic Henley Field, a 1,000-seat lighted ball park located a few blocks north of downtown Lakeland. Its cozy atmosphere makes it fun to attend a game, but it is tough on opponents. Combined with nearby Joker Marchant Stadium (which served as the Mocs’ home park for several games in past seasons) FSC has a winning percentage at home of better than 80%. Henley Field’s dimensions are 420 to straight-away center, 325 down the left field line, 330 down the right field line, 365 to left center and 385 to right center.
THE HISTORY OF HENLEY FIELD
Named for Clare “Doc” Henley, Henley Field, the home of the Moccasins, has been a Lakeland fixture since the 1920’s when it was known as Adair Field. In 1922, Clare Henley, president of the Lakeland Baseball Club, joined efforts with T.J. Appleyard and approached the Cleveland Indians about moving their Spring Training to Lakeland. In 1923 the Indians set up shop in Lakeland and played here for two seasons. Henley, owner of a series of Lakeland area pharmacies, would sell tickets at his stores and also charge for parking next to the park. On March 17, 1925 the dedication of “Athletic Park” took place with Major League Baseball Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis as guest speaker. With attendance dwindling to just an average of just 110 fans in 1927, the Indians packed their bags and left Lakeland without a professional team Athletic Field originally was an open field, but in 1927 54
a wall encircled the 510’ by 440’ field. In 1933 Henley joined with the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce and approached the Detroit Tigers about setting up camp at Athletic Field. In 1934, the Tigers began what today is the longest relationship between a major league team and a host spring training city. The Lakeland Chamber decided to honor Henley by naming the park in his honor and on March 29, 1952, Athletic Field was renamed Clare “Doc” Henley Ball Park. A writer for the Detroit News said of Henley, “He is the man who has done the most for the national sport of baseball in Lakeland.” Futhermore, the writer called Henley, the “Virtual Father of Lakeland Baseball.” During its spring training days Henley Field saw the likes of Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, as well as Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, play here, in addition to Hall of Famer Al Kaline, whose grandson, Colin, is a current member of the Moccasin baseball team. In 1987, Henley Field was the fictional home to the Tampico Stogies semi-professional team in the HBO movie “Long Gone” starring William Peterson and Virginia Madsen. Former FSC athletics director Hal Smeltzly served as baseball advisor during the filming. Entrance to Henley Field

Home of the Nine-Time National Champion Moccasins WHO WAS CLARE HENLEY?
Clare Henley was born in 1888 in Lakeland. After graduating from Lakeland High School, Henley attended Stetson University and later studied at Atlanta College of Pharmacy. While in Atlanta, Henley played baseball at Georgia Tech although not a student at the school. Henley later took over his father’s pharmacy business and eventually sold spring training tickets in his five stores. His love for baseball inspired him to convince the City of Lakeland to purchase 70 acres of land from Dr. Pike Adair.

The Detroit Tigers trained at Henley Field from 1934 until 1966 when the club moved to Joker Marchant Stadium. In 2002, the Tigers Class-A affiliate in the Florida State League used Henley Field while Joker Marchant Stadium underwent a renovation. The $250,000 upgrade to Henley Field brought metal stands and bleachers to replace the original wooden seats. New lights and a scoreboard were added along with an enhanced fan area behind the third base dugouts.

Florida Southern College Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Child of the Sun”
The Danforth Chapel is one of two chapels on campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Thad Buckner Building is home to the Frank Lloyd Wright “Child of the Sun” Visitor Center.
The Lucius Pond Ordway Building, completed in 1952, was supposedly one of Wright’s favorites because of the simplicity of the design.
Florida Southern is home to the world’s only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed planetarium.
Frank Lloyd Wright often visited Florida Southern College during his 20-year relationship with the college.
Founded by the United Methodist Church, Florida Southern College is one of the oldest private colleges in the state, tracing its beginnings to a small seminary in Orlando in 1883. The tie to its founding church has remained constant and is today, a proud part of the College’s heritage and a bright beacon for the future. Florida Southern moved to Lakeland in the heart of Florida’s citrus belt in 1922 and began the construction of a campus that would eventually become a national landmark. The beautiful 100-acre campus, on the north shore of Lake Hollingsworth, includes the world’s largest collection of buildings by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Florida Southern’s West Campus, now k nown throughout the world, actually had its inception in the mind
Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, completed in 1941, was the first of Wright’s designs at Florida Southern College.
of Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, president of the college from 19251957. In 1935 he conceived the idea of an ultra-modern campus, designed by the world’s leading architect. Ground was broken two years later for the first building in the Wright collection, the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. What Frank Lloyd Wright created on the campus is amazing. His original work is still as modern and exciting as the newest buildings still on many architect’s drawing boards. It is, perhaps, symbolic that the greatest concentration of his genius should be located at a small, private institution of higher learning. Perhaps he describes it best, “...out of the ground and into the light, a child of the sun...the college of tomorrow.” 59

Meyer was the Moccasins’ head baseball coach from 2002 through 2008.

As baseball coach, Meyer spent six full seasons as head coach, and in 2005, guided the Moccasins to their ninth NCAA Division II national title with a 51-11 record and was the American Baseball Coaches Association Division II Coach-of-the-Year. In addition to his national coaching honors from the ABCA, Meyer also was South Region, Sunshine State Conference and Florida Diamond Club (scouting organization) Coach-of-the-Year. His head coaching record at Florida Southern was 257-111-1, while his overall record as a head coach was 296-141-1. Thirtyfour Moccasin baseball players were drafted or signed professional contracts during Meyer’s tenure at FSC. Before officially assuming the reigns of head coach, Meyer had served for over three years as Florida Southern’s top assistant coach under Chuck Anderson. Prior to joining the FSC coaching staff, Meyer spent five seasons at Valdosta State, working under the legendary head coach, Tommy Thomas. Before his stint at Valdosta State, Meyer was head baseball coach at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where he coordinated the start of the school’s Division III baseball program in 1991. He served as a graduate assistant at Valdosta State from 1988-90, while earning his M. Ed. in physical education. A four-year baseball letterman at the College of Wooster in Ohio, Meyer graduated in 1987 with a B.A. in speech communication. Meyer is married to the former Julie Newnum. The couple has three children, 21-year old Ross, 19-year old Mitchell and 18-year old Megan.
