The University of Mobile (UMobile) has named its baseball field “Mike Jacobs Field” in honor of head baseball coach Mike Jacobs who founded the school’s baseball program in 1990 and celebrated his 700th career win in March.
UMobile’s President Mark Foley congratulated Jacobs and his wife, Joy, “on a career at the University of Mobile which is unparalleled.” Jacobs was surprised by the honor, which was unanimously approved by the university’s board of trustees in April.
The newly named Mike Jacobs Field includes a field house, locker rooms, a player study area and stadium seating.
