“Coach Bertman is a fantastic role model for our children to see what can be accomplished in sports and in life,” Miami Beach Vice Mayor Laura Dominguez said in an LSU press release.
He also guided the school to two runner-up seasons before becoming a college coach. Bertman was the coach at Miami Beach High from 1962 to 1974 prior to becoming the associate head coach at Miami.
“Skip Bertman’s legacy is woven into the very fabric of Miami Beach baseball, from his championship days at Beach High to his legendary career on the national stage,” Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner said in an LSU press release. “Naming this field in his honor ensures that future generations of local athletes will know the story of this talented man who defined excellence and innovation in the sport.”
