CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Members of Miami’s 1999 national championship baseball team will be on hand and honored at the 32nd Annual University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame & Museum Celebrity Golf Tournament, which will be held on Thursday, October 24 at the luxurious Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables. This year, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Ari Arteaga Foundation, named to honor the late son of Hurricanes head baseball coach J.D. Arteaga.
The 1999 Canes baseball team won the school’s third national championship by defeating Florida State 6-5 in the title game of the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. Head coach Jim Morris’ squad won the first of his two championships by going undefeated in postseason play.
The golf tournament is scheduled for Thursday, October 24, two days before UM’s football team hosts Florida State at Hard Rock Stadium.
