Miller Receives Tidewater Baseball Shrine Recognition from Norfolk Tides

The Norfolk Tides inducted former Norfolk State athletics director and baseball coach Marty Miller into the Tidewater Baseball Shrine prior to the second game of its doubleheader against Jacksonville Friday, July 26. The Tidewater Baseball Shrine recognizes players and executives who have significantly contributed to the game of baseball in the Tidewater area.
 
Miller was one of three members of the 2024 Tidewater Baseball Shrine Class, joining Christy Matthewson and Towny Townsend for the festivities.
 
Joining the Norfolk State community as a student-athlete, Miller enjoyed one of the strongest careers in the program's history. An NCAA College Division All-American, he posted a .380 batting average as a sophomore, .438 batting average as a junior and .406 batting average as a senior in 1968.
 
Miller became the head baseball coach at Norfolk State in 1973 and held the role until 2005, when he was promoted to Director of Intercollegiate Athletics for the Spartans. While coaching, Miller led Norfolk State to 712 wins in his 32-plus year career and is the winningest coach in program history.
