Jan. 23, 2004
Friends and fans of the football and baseball programs are excited and are proving it by signing up at a record pace for two special events to be staged by the UI Athletic Department in February.
The first Iowa Baseball Lead-Off Dinner is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 2, at the Sheraton Hotel in Downtown Iowa City. This special event provides participants an opportunity to meet Iowa’s new basebal coach, Jack Dahm, his staff and the 2004 Iowa Hawkeyes. It also offers an opportunity to enjoy presentations from Jim Hendry, general manager of the Chicago Cubs, and Wes Obermueller, a former Hawkeye who is now pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers.
