- 1977
In the mid-1970's, MTSU's baseball team rolled to great success and centerfielder Danny Moore was the "face" of the team. As the team's lead-off hitter, he was a master of setting the table for head coach John Stanford's deep roster of big-time hitters.
Moore batted .351 in his years with the Blue Raiders while utilizing an unconventional split-grip. Not only did the scrappy lefty have the drag bunt down to a science, but he still stands as one of the program's all-time best in triples.
In the memorable 1976 season, Moore was named to the All-OVC first team as the Blue Raiders rolled to a record of 35-17, overall, and won the Ohio Valley Conference with a record of 10-2. That year, Moore then led MTSU to its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament under Stanford's leadership.
Moore was once again selected to the All-OVC squad as a senior in 1977 and was honored with the retirement of his No. 2 Blue Raider jersey soon thereafter.
