I know the Polk story of the naming of our baseball stadium, but can someone tell me more about Mr. Gordon Dement? I googled the stadium but little info about him. Wiki ( which I don't really trust) and HailState had very little about him except he loved and was a lifetime supporter of MSU baseball.

He by himself kicked the Italians asses out of N. Africa during WWII with one arm tied behind his back. One BMF.

Thought Polk wanted his name off the stadium when Cohen was hired? Grant his wish.
