LEXINGTON, Va., March 28, 2007 – The new Gray-Minor Baseball Stadium and Paulette Hall were dedicated on Tuesday, March 27, giving VMI one of the best venues for playing college baseball in the nation.
not sure about the LAST part, but kudos to them for putting $$$ into the program. Now its LU's turn to "step up to the plate"
Sorry- couldn't help myself

I just got the pictures to load. That place looks nice. It'd be worth the drive to Lexington to catch a game there.
