GCU Inducts Three into Hall of Fame 
As part of its annual Homecoming weekend, Grand Canyon University inducted former baseball star Tim Salmon, ex-men’s basketball coach Ben Lindsey and the 1996 NCAA Division II national champion men’s soccer team into the GCU Hall of Fame Friday.
Major League Baseball fans affectionately know Salmon (pictured with athletic director Keith Baker) as “King Fish.” A 14-year veteran of the Los Angeles Angels, he is considered one of the greatest players in the franchise’s history. The former right fielder and World Series champion also is recognized for hitting it out of the park for the families he supports through his many humanitarian projects, which earned him an honorary doctor of public service degree from GCU in 2006.
After three record-setting seasons at Brazell Stadium, Salmon made his major league debut on Aug. 21, 1992. He has received many honors for his efforts both on and off of the playing field. He was Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year (1992), American League Rookie of the Year (1995), and Major League Baseball Comeback Player of the Year (2002).
