Latrobe Legion's Bush gets call to state hall of fame
Longtime Latrobe manager Jason Bush is going into the Pennsylvania American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame.
Bush, set to begin his 21st season with the Jethawks (15 as manager), has 316 wins and has won Region 7 and District 31 championships. He has guided Latrobe to the playoffs 14 times.
He officially will be inducted July 26 in DuBois during the state tournament.
Bush, who also serves as an assistant at Chatham, also is taking over as Region 7 Director. Latrobe will host the Region 7 Tournament this year.
I can't thank everyone enough for reaching out to me. I'm humbled and honored. Understand that nothing could have been accomplished without all the great players and young men I was FORTUNATE enough to coach. Also thank you to my current staff and the ones before them. WE did it
