FRANK WOLFGANG, Delaware Valley University
Baseball Coach & Director of Athletics – 1968-2013
Frank Wolfgang was a part of the MAC for 50 years. He served 45 years at Delaware Valley, including 22 years as head baseball coach and 26 years as director of athletics. He played his collegiate baseball in the MAC at former member Gettysburg from 1962-1966 and led the conference in batting average (.468) as a sophomore.
Frank is still a member of the Delaware Valley community as an active supporter and advisor. He is persistently on campus, around the athletic facilities, and a regular attendee at every sporting event.
Wolfgang spent 10 years with the Aggie men's basketball program as an assistant coach and then head coach, but his true coaching prowess came with the Delaware Valley baseball team, a position he held for 22 years (1974-75 and 1979-99). He holds the program record for wins with 249 and led his squad to the playoffs on four occasions. His last season as coach was, perhaps, the finest as the team set a school record with a 31-7 mark and went on to capture the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Southern Region Championship. The baseball field on campus was renamed Frank Wolfgang Field in 2006.
Wolfgang was nominated into the Delaware Valley University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013. He also earned the MAC Lou Sorrentino Award in the second year of the award in 2013, recognizing an influential adminstrator.
Wolfgang is also a member of the Jerry Wolman-Northern Anthracite Chapter of the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame.
