1952 Sammy Esposito

BIO
B:12/15/1931
Esposito spend three years at IU (1950-1952), but only played baseball in 1952. He was a three sport athlete, also playing both football and basketball. He was signed by the White Sox in the summer of 1952, but his early playing career was interrupted as he was assigned to the Army during the Korean War.
During much of his time with the White Sox Esposito was benched behind two Hall of Famers, Luis Aparicio and Nellie Fox, so his playing time was limited. While his hitting statistics were never that great, Esposito excelled in the field, and was a fan favorite of the Go Go Sox 1959 World Series team.
Esposito's most famous claim is that he ended Nellie Fox's consecutive game streak at 798 in 1960. Upon committing an error in that game, a deranged fan stormed the field yelling about how much money he had bet on the game. Although swings occurred, no one was injured in that altercation. The fan did punch a security guard knocking out some of his teeth while being escorted off the field.
After retiring Esposito coached the North Carolina State University baseball team from 1967-1987. Esposito's son is currently working on the University of South Carolina's coaching staff.

1969-1972 Mark Spitz IU HOF

BIO
B:2/10/1950
Mark Spitz is unarguable the most famous and well know athlete to attend IU. Although Spitz did not play baseball, if you win 11 medals in the Olympics (nine gold, one each of silver and Bronze) you are more than deserving to be included in any IU collection. Spitz is most known for winning seven gold medals in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games (although his mustache is a close second). A feat only surpassed by Micheal Phelps in the 2008 Beijing games.
Before the 1968 games in Mexico City, Spitz boldly predicted that he would win six gold medals. He wound up winning two golds, a silver and a bronze that year. Disappointed in his showing, Spitz chose to attend IU under the tutelage of coach Doc Counsilman.
While at IU Spitz set 23 world swimming records and 35 US records. He propelled Indiana to four NCAA championships in each of his four years.
Spitz is currently a motivational speaker and artist. His website is www.markspitzusa.com, and you can follow him on Twitter @markspitzusa.

1970-1973 Gary Hall Sr. IU HOF

BIO
B:8/7/1951
Much like Mark Spitz, Gary Hall does not have an affiliation with the baseball club, but since he appeared in three Olympics I have included him in my collection. Hall appeared in the 1968 Mexico City, 1972 Munich, and 1976 Montreal games. He won three medals during the games, two silver and one bronze.
While being overshadowed by Spitz in his first three years at IU, Hall became captain of the swim team in his Senior Year at IU. His best event was the individual medley, in which he set several world records.
Hall is father of Gary Hall Jr. who also appeared in three Olympic Games (only father son duo to do this). After retiring Hall practiced Ophthalmology until starting a swimming club called The Race Club with his son. You can follow him on twitter @garyhallsr
