From humble beginnings in Loogootee, Indiana, Mark Riggins was an outstanding lefty for the Murray State Thoroughbreds and was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals. When his playing days were over, he embarked on a professional coaching career that lasted 30 years with the Cardinals (1984-2007) then with the Chicago Cubs (2008-09), Cincinnati Reds (2016) and then last two years with the Toronto Blue Jays. Riggins talks of the late great MSU Coach Johnny Reagan and his baseball life. Wayback Wednesday takes us to 2013 when the Racers' basketball team beat Auburn at the Charleston Classic and Isaiah Canaan made a run at the MSU single-game scoring record. And we remember the life and career of Coach Reagan who passed away recently at the age of 92.
