Buck Bailey
- Induction:
- 1978
Arthur “Buck” Bailey came to Washington State as an assistant football coach and became a legend as its colorful and winning head baseball coach (1927-42, 1946-61). At WSC, Bailey’s teams won 11 Northern Division titles, including 10 outright. The Cougars made two trips to the College World Series under Bailey and his 1950 squad finished national runner-up to Texas. In his 32 seasons, Washington State won 603 games and the current baseball home for the Cougars is named in his honor. He played football and baseball at Texas A&M and Bethany (W.Va.) and was captain of the 1925 West team in the first East-West Shrine Game. Bailey is a member of the State of Washington Sports Hall of Fame and the Inland Northwest Sports Hall of Fame.
