Just saw on Twitter.
Got to know him a little. Great guy. A baseball encyclopedia.
RIP to him and his family.

He played baseball, coached baseball and built a career in the sport.
The sport was good to him and he was good to the sport.
The Field of Dreams is welcoming their new head coach.

What a rare character and coach. I’m never a proponent of playing Rice but damn, he made college baseball fun in Houston. Made many trips to Reckling.

He didn’t make it fun to play Rice. At least, not for me.

Good coach, great recruiter.
Nice article from last year: Five years later, Wayne Graham reflects on retirement, end of Rice tenure - The Rice Thresher

He was a heck of a baseball coach, one of the best.

Really sorry to see that Coach Graham passed away. We used to jokingly call him the human rain delay. No way of knowing, but I have often wondered what the University of Houston baseball program would look like today if we had hired Coach Graham instead of Noble.

Great guy, great coach. Old Heights boy who once led Reagan to a state title in the early ‘50s
Great coach and hated playing against him. He brought some players into Rice.
