This resolution honors "Bobby" Sprowl for his distinguished coaching career as the head baseball coach of the Shelton State Community College Buccaneers. It highlights his achievements, including his time as a player at The University of Alabama, where he earned All-American and All-SEC honors, and his professional career in Major League Baseball with the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, and Baltimore Orioles. As a coach, Sprowl has led the Buccaneers to numerous victories, including a perfect conference record in 1988, four straight 40-win seasons from 2006 to 2009, and multiple appearances in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) World Series, with a runner-up finish in 2008.

The resolution further acknowledges Coach Sprowl's induction into the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2009, his selection to The University of Alabama All-Century Baseball Team in 1993, and his upcoming induction into the NJCAA Baseball Hall of Fame. It celebrates his legacy, which includes over 1,100 wins, ranking him among the top NJCAA coaches, the development of players who have gone on to four-year schools and the MLB, and six state tournament victories. The Alabama Legislature, with both houses concurring, extends its highest commendations to Coach Sprowl and dedicates the resolution to him with the utmost respect.
