From its humble beginning as a small commuter college with fewer
students than the surrounding high schools, Norfolk's Old Dominion
University has grown to be one of the premier institutions of higher
learning in the state of Virginia. As the school sought to establish its
independent identity, one iconic baseball coach and his star pupils
helped bring national name recognition to Old Dominion College.
Monarchs tells the story of how Coach Bud Metheny built a baseball
powerhouse out of almost exclusively local talent, culminating in a 1964
East Region NCAA championship earned in baseball's most revered
venue--New York's Yankee Stadium.
