Say It Ain't So: LACC Reportedly Plans to End Baseball Program After 63 Years

LACC had 27 players reach the major leagues since the school began playing in 1932. That list includes shortstop Roy Smalley, outfielder Don Buford, first baseman Pete LaCock and pitcher Larry Demery.

Baseball agent Dennis Gilbert and rap star Hammer also played baseball at the school.

"I think it's an atrocity," said Bob Zuber, who coached the team from 1966 to 1973. "There is no excuse to take the American way of life out of a program that's been here for 63 years. I'm stunned if this decision goes through."

Boyer said that men's soccer will be added if the baseball program is dropped.
