Stan Bronson, Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Memphis Tigers public batboy, Stan Bronson, Jr., is known as a living legend in Tiger baseball, and now holds a place in history as the "Most Durable Batboy" ever, as approved by the Guinness World Records. Bronson, has been the University of Memphis' baseball batboy for over 49 years.
Bronson, 78, came to the University of Memphis (then Memphis State University) in the 1958 season and has served as the program's batboy since--a span of 49 years, two months and 20 days. During Bronson's tenure as the batboy, Memphis has played approximately 2,187 games. Every time a Tiger home game reaches the middle of the eight inning, it is Bronson's time in the spotlight. He makes his way to home plate where he acknowledges the Tiger faithful who have made it out to the game. Bronson will be included in the 2008 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
