🔼 Glory Days. With resumes that include College World Series appearances, MLB World Series championships, program records, SEC titles and post-baseball career success, four former Auburn standouts shared stories and advice Saturday at the 23^rd annual Auburn Diamond Club preseason banquet.

With 550 Auburn baseball supporters filling the floor of Neville Arena, Terry Leach, Jeff Leatherman, Jay Waggoner and Grant Dayton relived their glory days on the Plains.

Leach, who came to Auburn from Selma, Alabama, helped pitch the Tigers to the 1976 College World Series. An arm injury his senior season transformed Leach from a power pitcher to a sidearmer, an adjustment that led to an 11-year big league career that included a 1991 World Series title with the Minnesota Twins.

"I only threw 80 miles an hour in the big leagues," Leach recalled. "That takes guts when you're pitching against Frank Thomas, Bo Jackson or Mike Schmidt. My 80 miles an hour was better than my 95 miles an hour. It taught me how to adapt and move on. Don't quit."

Read the article for more on the banquet, including the panelists’ words of wisdom to Auburn's 2024 team, which begins the season Friday vs. Eastern Kentucky on Opening Day on The Plains.

🔼 From the Plains to Pastor Life. From Sheffield, Alabama, to Auburn University, the NFL, the Auburn University Board of Trustees and now a pastor for 20 years. That's the trek for Byron Franklin Sr. The former Tiger wide receiver played for Buffalo and Seattle in the NFL, then he figured out his life.

For the last 20 years, Franklin has been the Senior Pastor at Living Word Church in Livingston, Alabama. He recently spoke at Auburn University's MLK Breakfast.

Byron Franklin, Sr. is featured in the latest Talking Tigers Podcast episode.

🔼 Don’t Hate the Players. That’s three members of the Auburn Softball nominated to the Tiger Invite All-Tournament Team:

✅ Amelia Lech
✅ Icess Tresvich
✅ Caitlyn “KK” McCrary
