The Senate Concurrent Resolution commends Joe Scheuermann for his induction into the 2025 class of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Born on October 15, 1962, in New Orleans, Scheuermann has made significant contributions to baseball as a coach, mentor, and community leader. He became Louisiana's all-time winningest college baseball coach in May 2024, achieving a remarkable 1,179 career victories over 34 seasons with the Delgado Dolphins. His coaching accolades include five appearances in the JUCO World Series and numerous regional titles, alongside a history of mentoring over 300 student-athletes who advanced to four-year institutions.
In addition to his coaching achievements, Scheuermann has been recognized with several honors, including induction into the NJCAA Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame and the All-American Amateur Baseball Association Hall of Fame. He has also played a vital role in the local baseball community by maintaining Kirsch-Rooney Stadium and hosting numerous amateur games. The resolution highlights his legacy, which continues the work of his late father, Louis "Rags" Scheuermann, also a Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame inductee, making them the fourth father-son duo to be honored in this way. The resolution concludes by officially commending Scheuermann and directing that a copy be sent to him.
