The Kansas City Royals and Florida State...

The Kansas City Royals and Florida State officially dedicated Dick Howser Stadium at the university in honor of the late major league player and manager.

A new, $175,000 scoreboard carrying Howser’s name and a bronze bust of the former Royal and New York Yankees skipper were dedicated during a half-hour ceremony. Howser, who died of cancer last June at 50, was Florida State’s first All-American baseball player in 1957 and later returned to coach there in 1979.
