A standout on the diamond as well as in the classroom, Jack Don (1971-73) earned team MVP honors with team highs in batting average (.376) and RBI (35) as a senior in 1973. He was then the only Temple baseball player to earn First Team Academic All-America honors. Moving from third base to catcher for his final season, the Riverton, NJ native (Palmyra HS) helped the Owls to a 33-11 record and second straight Middle Atlantic Conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. As a junior, Don batted .323 with 33 RBI in helping Temple to a 33-15 record and a third place national finish (the highest in TU history) at the College World Series. The two-time all-MAC first team performer compiled a .344 career batting average, which ranked second in the Temple record book at the time of his graduation.
