With all the negativity with Leggett I wanted to say

That Bill Wilhelm was not the most popular man on campus when I was there . Maybe because he was a bit gruff .
I went to many baseball games back then (students FREE), a great way to take a few hours off from school .
Then I looked up his record.
1161-536-10 5 trips to the College World Series.

Wilhelm was gruff, yes, but he was respected by people because he treated them with respect. Leggett? Not so much

here. Bill forgot more baseball than Jack will ever know. He did not mince words and would tell it like it is.

I was stating that Bill's record was impressive and winning seemed easy back then (surely was not).
The Tigers were dominant on the diamond

There is a difference between gruff and arrogance.

Wilhelm was gruff with those that were no- serious. Ask those that played for him what kind of guy he was. He was fair and easy to talk with as regular students can attest to-as they recall their Clemsom academic days before they became more distant fans.

was turning boys into men, on and off the field. Many that hated them as players loved and respected them as men later in life.
