Pacific Dedicates its Clubhouse to Tom Stubbs
1968 team gives back to honor their former coach
Pacific baseball unveiled a newly remodeled locker room in October in honor of longtime coach, Tom Stubbs, who managed the program from 1964 to 71 and again from 1973 to 81. Stubbs' 410 wins stands as the program record for coaching wins.
The Tigers, through the generous naming gift from the 1968 team which went 32-15 and holds the record for best winning percentage in program history, added graphics over the top of two thirds of the lockers that honors the Tigers past and present. There is also a wall in the entrance way to the locker room that honors Stubbs himself and the clubhouse has been officially renamed the Tom Stubbs Clubhouse in honor of the coach.

The unveiling and re-naming of the clubhouse was a complete surprise to the legendary coach.
"I love what they've done with the pictures of the team and that sort of thing. It's truly amazing. I didn't expect this at all," Stubbs said. "This is very humbling to think of."
