Bruce Barclay was one of the true pioneers of Buccaneer athletics, coaching the baseball team from its founding in 1984 to 1993. When he arrived on campus in 1985, he literally had no place to play and few players. Through his efforts and the contributions of Abe Feinbloom, the University converted a softball field into Feinbloom Field, which continues to serve as home to the Buccaneer baseball program to this day. Feinbloom Field was recognized by Beam Clay, Co., as the top collegiate field in 1989.
Barclay guided the fledgling program for nine years as a part-time coach while also serving as a physical education instructor at Oakridge Elementary School in Broward County. In 1992, the Bucs cracked the NCAA Division II national poll for the first time, topping out at #12 and narrowly missed earning the team's first regional bid. In 1993, Barry was ranked as high as 13th. Barclay retired from coaching at the end of the 1993 season, and his number 3 was retired at the alumni game that fall.
