#23 belonged to Keith LeClair. It has been retired and now belongs to the ages.
BTW, Keith's daughter was in attendance at the baseball banquet on Saturday night. If I heard correctly, she is a student at WCU at this time.

#23 belonged to Keith LeClair. It has been retired and now belongs to the ages. My apologies to all the Catamount baseball fans, I'm living proof that the memory is the first thing to go. Thanks for the reminder of Keith's place in Catamount Baseball history. Baseball - #23 - Keith LeClair (1985-88)
 Played on four consecutive Southern Conference Championship Baseball teams (1985-88) as a first baseman ...

He was named MVP of the 1988 Southern Conference Tournament (batted .600/12 RBI) ... In 1992 he became Western's head coach and led the Catamounts to the Southern Conference regular season and tournament championships as well as the championship of the NCAA south regional ... Overall he lead WCU to three Southern Conference tournament titles and three Southern Conference regular season titles ...
