Jonathan Lucroy
It's been a good few months for Jonathan Lucroy.
Last August, the former Major League Baseball All-Star got the phone call from the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, letting him know that he would be honored with the state's highest athletic accolade this summer.
That happens June 27 in Natchitoches, culminating three days of festivities with Lucroy and the Class of 2026.
Less than two months ago, he was back at UL's M. L. "Tigue" Moore Field, where the ex-Ragin' Cajun standout catcher received that program's greatest honor with the retiring of his No. 21 jersey, putting him in elite company from his days as a collegian.
During that same time frame, he was selected as the catcher on yet another Milwaukee Brewers All-time Team, honoring the top player at each position for the nearly 60-year-old franchise. Legendary Brewers announcer and former major league catcher Bob Uecker had christened him with that honor long ago.
And this past spring, the hugely young high school baseball team he coaches at Grapevine Faith Christian School near Dallas had a surprisingly successful .500 season.
