Kent State is proud to honor one of our own. 💙💛 This weekend, the university unveiled a bronze statue of baseball legend Thurman Munson at Schoonover Stadium. Munson was a Kent State All-American, captain of the New York Yankees, seven-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion — but to us, he’ll always be a Golden Flash first. ⚾ Thanks to generous private donations and the artistry of sculptor David Deming, Munson’s legacy will now stand tall on campus, inspiring future generations. 📍
