NORFOLK, Va. – The Norfolk Tides will induct former Norfolk State athletics director and baseball coach Marty Miller into the Tidewater Baseball Shrine prior to the second game of Friday evening's doubleheader against Jacksonville.
 
Miller will be one of three members of the 2024 Tidewater Baseball Shrine Class, joining Christy Matthewson and Towny Townsend for the festivities.
 
Joining the Norfolk State community as a student athlete, Miller enjoyed one of the strongest careers in the program's history. An NCAA College Division All-American, he posted a .380 batting average as a sophomore, .438 batting average as a junior and .406 batting average as a senior in 1968.
 
Miller became the head baseball coach at Norfolk State in 1973 and held the role until 2005, when he was promoted to Director of Intercollegiate Athletics for the Spartans. While coaching, Miller led Norfolk State to 712 wins in his 32-plus year career and is the winningest coach in program history.
