Siena’s Tony Rossi, the longest-tenured coach in Division I baseball history, has announced that he will retire later this month.
Rossi — in his 54th season, all at Siena — will step down March 20, the school announced Monday. Rossi’s retirement will make Minnesota’s John Anderson, in his 42nd season with the Golden Gophers, the longest-tenured active Division I coach.
Assistant coach Joe Sheridan will officially take over as Siena’s interim coach when Rossi steps down. “Nothing happened,” the 79-year-old Rossi told the newspaper. “Just decided to retire. … It’s time to go, I guess.”He’s tied for second all-time in NCAA baseball history in seasons coached along with former Bentley coach Bob DeFelice, who retired last spring from the Division II school.Former Division III coach Gordie Gillespie worked for 59 seasons, and is the only head coach at any NCAA level to have more seasons than Rossi.
Rossi has a 936-1,202-8 record with the Saints, who are off to a 2-10 start this season — and aren’t even halfway through a run where they’ll play their first 27 games on the road.
