Bryan Henry column: MEAC Tourney title rings arrive

COURTESY FAMU ATHLETICS

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Last week ended on a really high note. We received an unexpected package at our Florida A&M baseball office one of the morning and got some really great news during a couple of the afternoons.

During our daily morning coaches meeting, where we discuss practice plans for the day and previous practices, we received a delivery. It was two oddly shaped boxes and both boxes were different sizes. We are expecting shorts, gloves and batting practice pull overs but there was no way those things would have come in these boxesC

After guessing what we thought it could be, we opened one of the boxes up and we were both wrong. Neither one of us, coach Jamey Shouppe or myself, were expecting to get our MEAC Championships rings in (We won the tourney last spring). Mike Morrell, our baseball sports information director, and I finished designing them a month or two ago but I was not expecting them until later, way later.

So was shocked to see them so soon and even more excited to see how they turned out.
