D.C. Legg Assistant Coach, Bozeman Bucks
Dave Legg
A former prep and college baseball standout, D.C. Legg joins the Bucks staff after graduating from Cal State Bakersfield this last year. He played at CSU Bakersfield in 2011-12 after a two-year stint at Cypress Junior College (where he played in 2008 and redshirted the next season). Legg started 30 games at Utah in 2008, hitting .257 with a dozen RBIs and 14 runs. He was all-league and All-CIF as a senior at Vista Murrieta HS, playing with his brother Derek for his father Dave.
Head Coach, Bozeman Bucks
Success has followed Dave Legg at every stop of his coaching career, and his first two seasons leading the Bozeman American Legion program have enhanced that legacy. The former California high school head coach and Division I assistant has led the Bucks to 75 wins in his first two seasons at the helm, including two trips to the Class AA State Tournament which have produced four victories. In his first season as the head coach of Bozeman’s American Legion Baseball Program in 2012, Legg led a revival. The Bucks rolled to a 41-17 record and finished a close second in the Class AA Eastern Division to the eventual state champion Billings Royals. A young 2013 team – every squad member was eligible to return in 2014 – consolidated those gains with a solid 34-32 campaign. Legg took over the Bucks after long and successful tenures in the California high school and Division I college coaching ranks. Bozeman’s 2012 campaign was one of the most successful in program history. The 41 wins and .707 winning percentage in 2012 were each program bests since 2009, and the team’s play was reminiscent of the stretch of seasons between 2004 and ’09 when the Bucks won at least 40 games each season. A former player at San Diego Mesa Junior College, Legg also played for a season at San Diego State for a season before beginning his coaching career with the Aztecs. He learned his trade under legendary SDSU coach Jim Dietz, coaching future major leaguers such as Tony Gwynn and Bobby Meacham. In 1987 he joined Bill Kinneberg’s staff at Wyoming, helping lead the Cowboys to one of the program’s most successful periods ever. After returning to his native California he was an assistant at Linfield HS in 1993-94 and at Temecula Valley HS in 2000 before taking over the Vista Murrieta HS program (2002-10). He finished his California prep coaching career in 2011 as an assistant at that school. As Vista Murrieta’s head coach, Legg
led his squad to the 2006 CIF Division 3 title game in Anaheim Stadium and the 2007 Division 2 championship game at Dodger Stadium. He was the Press-Enterprise and California Newspaper Coach of the Year in each of those seasons, earning CIF and LA Times Coach of the Year honors in 2007. Legg coached in the Riverside East-West All-Star Game twice, and led his team to Southwestern League championships in 2006 and ’08.

Alex Bradford Assistant Coach, Bozeman Bucks Coach Alex Bradford returns to the Bozeman American Legion program this summer in a new role, taking over as pitching coach. Bradford pitched for Treasure Valley Community College during the 2013 and 2014 seasons, posting a 1-2 record with one save in 17.2 innings and a 4.20 ERA covering 16 appearances. In three seasons with the Bucks, Bradford compiled a 13-7 record with one save.

W h e e l e r
Richard “Dude” Wheeler, 82, passed away Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Dude was born October 19, 1937 in Wibaux, MT to Merril and lrene (Cummings) Wheeler. He graduated from Montana State College with a BS in Agriculture in 1958. He received his Masters of Science in Ag Economics in 1959 and earned his PhD in Ag Economics from Oregon State University in 1968. After finishing his college work in Oregon, he came back and taught for a couple of years at Montana State University in the Ag Economic Department. Dude was a long time legion baseball supporter having served on our board since 1967. He could be found at the ballpark every home game running our scoreboard as he did for decades.
