Davidson College will induct four new members into its Athletics Hall of Fame in January, and these include baseball standout David A. Turgeon '87. All have made significant contributions to the college and its athletics program, and now their achievements are being enshrined in the school's Hall of Fame. Turgeon, simply put, is one of Davidson's greatest hitters ever for the baseball squad. A three-time All-Southern Conference third baseman, he batted .366 for his career, fourth all-time in the Wildcat annals. He set numerous offensive records, including hits (227), home runs (38), RBIs (182), doubles (46) and total bases (397), all in an era before 50-plus-game seasons. His career home run and RBI totals are still atop the charts. Turgeon followed up a fine rookie campaign with a superb sophomore season by batting .369 with eight long balls and 53 RBIs to help Davidson to its only first-place finish in the SoCon. After another terrific season as a junior in which he hit .356 with nine home runs and a team-high 53 RBIs, the four-season star exploded in his final year. He hit a .403 with a then-school-record 15 home runs (on a team that led the nation in home runs per game) and 49 RBIs. In addition to his third selection to the All-SoCon squad, he was named to the All-Atlantic Region second team. After being drafted by the New York Yankees in the 13th round, Turgeon enjoyed more than a decade as a professional player with stops in Taiwan and Mexico before returning to the states with the Baltimore Orioles AAA affiliate. Most of his pro experience, surprisingly, was as a pitcher. He now is the associate head baseball coach at the University of Connecticut.
