From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Scolino (born March 28, 1918, in Los Angeles, California) was a Hall of Fame College Baseball Head coach who coached the Pepperdine University Baseball team for 14 seasons (1946-1960). He died at age 91 in 2009.

Coaching career

Scolino totaled 1,198 victories in just 14 seasons, for an average of 85+ wins per season, a truly amazing statistic, considering that college teams typically schedule only 56 games.
