Hall of Fame
Ed Haberle was a natural hitter and one of the best in Point Park’s proud baseball history. Former head coach Barry Hanburger once said of the lefty, “Ed Haberle could hit .300 standing on his head.” Haberle’s career honors included being selected for the 1978 and ’79 NAIA baseball All-District 18 team, the 1978 and ’79 All-Area team, the 1979 Honorable Mention All-American team, the 1979 First Team All-World Series team and the 1979 NAIA All-Star team. Haberle was equally as adept in the field as he was at the plate. In 1978 Haberle committed only four errors in 249 chances for a .984 fielding percentage. At the time of his graduation, Haberle was at or near the top of nearly every single offensive record in school history including hits (133), RBIs (97), triples (6), doubles (29), home runs (12), and batting average (.373). Soon after graduation, Haberle joined a small Oregon based shoe company named Nike. Today, Haberle is the Director of National Strategic Accounts at Nike Corporation, Nike’s largest American sales division. This year, Haberle received the Nike Sales MVP of the Year Award.
