1991 Hall of Fame Inductees William Barnes III '80, baseball: As a base runner, there was none better in Fairfield's forty-year baseball record book. A fleet-footed centerfielder, William Barnes III '80 becomes the tenth baseball player to be inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame since its beginnings in 1982 with 122 career stolen bases in 125 games, 37 in a single season (1978). Barnes not only holds the school record, but the New England Collegiate record for career and season steals as well, breaking a mark set in 1927. Billy's prowess on the base paths earned him a number two ranking in the country in 1976 and in 1978. Billy led the Stags to three consecutive winning seasons and ECAC Regional appearances. Not only was Billy captain of the team in 1979, he gained New England Division I All Star accolades in 1977 and 1979. The Bridgeport, Connecticut native finished his Fairfield diamond career with a .311 average (eighth all-time), and hit a scalding .342 in his senior campaign.
Christopher Galvin '72, men's rugby: Chris Galvin is the first rugby player to attain Athletic Hall of Fame honors. In the 27 year history of the club, only Chris Galvin won the Most Valuable Player Award twice in four seasons of play. He also captained and player coached the club in 1971 and 1972, leading the squad in scoring and assists. Galvin directed the Fairfield attack as would the point guard in basketball or the quarterback in football. In those years, the captain traditionally acted as coach, and Galvin is remembered by his teammates as a great leader and teacher of the game. He was a four-year starter on the "A" division squad, winning the Doug Ciacci Award in 1972 and the Fairfield University Alumni Association Club Athlete Award in 1972. In 1988, Chris was given a rugby "Hall of Honor" commendation at the club's 25th anniversary celebration.
Tony George '86, men's basketball: Tony George brought the spark back to Alumni Hall with a knack for getting the job done. Plain and simple: the man could fill it up. And fill it up he did on the way to the Fairfield career scoring mark set during his playing years from 1982-86. As a four-year starter and two-time co-captain, George led the Stags throughout his career, and established himself as one of the premier players in the East, averaging 20.3 points per game his senior season. In that magical 24-7 year, Tony was named Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Year in 1986 and received First Team All-Met honors. The Stags won both the Regular Season and Tournament Championships in the MAAC, and the first berth for Fairfield in the NCAA Tournament. George's career records include: first in career points (2,006), first in points scored in a season (630) in 1985-8, first in field goals made in a career (748), second in games played in a career (115), and fourth in career assists (455). Tony was also named team MVP from 1984-86 and was a three-time All Metropolitan Selection from 1984-86.
Robert Hutter '63, men's basketball: Bob Hutter enters the Athletic Hall of Fame representing the pre-Division I period of Fairfield basketball. With Hall of Famers Nick Macarchuk '63, Bob Jenkins '62 and Coach George Bisacca, Hutter was responsible for Fairfield's success in the NCAA College Division of the early 1960s. In a time when student-athletes were eligible to play only three years, Bob Hutter made the most of his campaigns, scoring with a vengeance. Fairfield's three-year record when Hutter wore the red and white was 48-25, including the school's first 20-win season (going 20-5) in 1961-62, and two appearances in the NCAA Division playoffs. Bob also served as captain of the 1962-63 campaign and ranks ninth on the all-time scoring list with 1,315 in just 73 games for an 18.0 average per game in his Fairfield career, and ranks sixth on the all-time list. |
