Titan Athletics Unveils Augie Garrido Statue Cal State Fullerton’s baseball program launched its 2022 fundraising campaign with the unveiling of a statue of legendary head coach Augie Garrido. Garrido guided Cal State Fullerton to College World Series championships in 1979, 1984 and 1995. He died nearly four years ago at age 78. After the unveiling, Fullerton supporters toured the new L-shaped clubhouse. The first floor houses a locker room, showers, and study and food areas. On the second floor, there are conference, video analysis, copier and storage rooms as well as coaches’ offices and showers. The clubhouse (and softball clubhouse upgrades) are the result of a $15.1 million fundraising effort through the “It Takes a Titan” campaign.
