UD Hall of Fame Feature: Al Ogletree

Inducted February 20, 1998

Shortly after the University of Dallas reopened in 1955, Coach Al Ogletree was hired as the baseball and basketball coach. Through his efforts an intercollegiate athletics program was begun. While at the University of Dallas he won 91 baseball games, which made him the winningest coach in UD history (at the time) and contributed to his career total of 1,187. Upon his retirement Coach Ogletree was the winningest active coach in college baseball. 

In 2018, a plaque was dedicated to honor Ogletree just beyond the centerfield wall at the entrance fans take to go to the field. Click here to view the article that honors Coach Ogletree. Also pictured below is a jersey number dedication on the right field wall at Cruader Field.
