When you go to the next Seminole Baseball home game take a moment and look to your left as you enter the gate.
Most people rush right on by without even looking in that direction, but it s worth a look.
It s the statue of Dick Howser, the man the stadium is named for. It s hard to tell much about a person by just looking at a bust. If you said that about Dick Howser, you would be right. He walked up to Florida State coach Danny Litwiler, a former major leaguer in 1956 and asked for a tryout. 145 pounder and probably had some doubts.
