Gene Stephenson
Gene Stephenson (born August 31, 1945) is an American retired college baseball coach, who served as the head baseball coach at Wichita State from 1978 to 2013. Career When he arrived at Wichita State, he inherited a program that had been dormant for over seven years. In his first year, despite not playing a home game until their 18th game, his Shockers finished with a winning record.

Under his leadership, the Shockers made seven College World Series and 26 NCAA tournament appearances, i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
