Stephen E. Grolnic has been elected to the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in the sport of baseball.

Grolnic was the Most Valuable Player of the 1966 baseball squad, arguably the university's greatest ever. He earned NCAA District I all-star status en route to Omaha, where the Huskies made their first College World Series appearance. He fanned 15 and 16 batters, respectively, in critical 1966 title run games against Providence and Maine. He threw a one-hitter against Boston College to seal the Huskies first-ever Greater Boston League crown. He later scattered four hits in a 10-2 victory over BC in the NCAA Districts at Fenway, clinching a World Series berth. Grolnic was named the GBL's most outstanding player in 1966, tallying a 7-4 record with 97 strikeouts and a 2.99 ERA. He struck out a school record 100 batters during his junior season.
