William Carey's Bobby Halford named to NAIA Hall of Fame
SUMMARY: Bobby Haford moved to William, KY in the early 1970s to play basketball, never anticipating a 50-year journey that would lead to a legacy in college baseball. Recently, he made history by becoming the first individual from Morehead State University to be inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame, with the official ceremony scheduled for January. Over his 38-year coaching career, Haford led the Crusaders to more than 1,300 wins and three World Series appearances. He credits his success to the players and coaches around him, emphasizing that coaching is a calling rather than a mere career choice.
