Highland Park's Varsity Baseball Coach, Fred Oliver was announced as one of three coaches that were selected for the Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame 2011 inductees. If you have ever spent any time around Coach Oliver you would know they don't come any nicer than him. Coach Oliver coached the Scots last year as his first year at HP, in return they won him his 500th game. Think about that for a minute...500 games. His daughter had been organizing a gathering in his honor that he was unaware of and the weekend after the 500th win, players from the team that he coached to his very first win showed up to surprise Coach Oliver at a Scots game. Again stop and think about when the players played for him and the fact that they took the time to come to Dallas to honor him. I apologize to Coach Oliver for being a little slow in my congratulations.
