Remembering Eagle Athletics Hall of Famer Les McLeod

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (February 21, 2017) – Les McLeod, father of Tallahassee Community College head baseball coach Mike McLeod, passed away on Tuesday. He was 92.

Mr. McLeod was a fixture at Eagle Field since the College brought back athletics in 1990. Over the years, he also volunteered his time operating concessions for home baseball and softball events. 

Mr. McLeod was inducted into the Eagle Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008 as a contributor to the program. 

The following text is inscribed on Les McLeod's hall of fame plaque: 

Les McLeod enters the Eagle Athletics Hall of Fame as one of Tallahassee Community College's most loyal athletics contributors. 

Like his son, Mike, TCC's veteran baseball coach, the elder McLeod has etched his own place in the history of TCC Baseball. 

From the time the College rekindled its baseball program in 1990, Mr. McLeod has arguably been its number one supporter. TCC Baseball fans, past and present, have grown accustomed to seeing Mr. McLeod volunteer in some way, shape or form, during games at Eagle Field, regardless of the day or time. 

Mr. McLeod's efforts have served as an example to all of TCC's student-athletes, thus making the experience more meaningful for players, coaches and fans alike.

Demonstrating a true love for the game, Les McLeod has gone above and beyond the call of duty to give new meaning to the title of "Hall of Famer."
