Eddie Pellagrini, who coached baseball at Boston College for more than 30
years, died yesterday at the age of 88.

Pellagrini, who played 11 years in the major leagues for the Red Sox, St.
Louis Browns (now the Baltimore Orioles), Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh
Pirates prior to his post at Boston College, was hired by long-time Director
of Athletics Bill Flynn in 1957. Thirty-one years and a school-record 359
victories later, he retired after the 1988 season.

During his long and distinguished coaching career, Pellagrini led the Eagles
to 17 winning seasons, seven postseason berths in the NCAA District I
Playoffs, three District I championships, and three appearances in the
College World Series - 1960, 1961 and 1967.
