Carleton College will honor Mel Taube, who served the Knights’ athletic department from 1950-70 as a multi-sport coach and latter adding men’s athletics administration duties, by the naming of the Mel Taube Baseball Field. The dedication ceremony will be held during Carleton’s Alumni Reunion Weekend activities at 4:15 p.m. on Fri., June 20 at the baseball complex. Several members of the Carleton class of 1958 are on campus this weekend to celebrate their 50th reunion. This group has spearheaded a variety of planned improvements to Carleton’s baseball facilities, all in Coach Taube’s honor.
