John Winkin, UMaine Baseball Coach 1975-1996
" Mike I want to tell you that there are 2 things that stand out in my life as 2 of the greatest thrills when I think about you. I got the opportunity to see you play in your first world series game and this year, this June, you graduated from the
University of Maine. A promise you kept to me when you signed your professional contract. Mike, I'm honored to be a part of this ceremony, thanks."
Mike Bordick
" This isn't about me its about the people here at the University of Maine. When I came here in 1984, as many people can attest, I was pretty rough around the edges. With the help of John WInkin, Wes Jordan, Walt Abbott. Stephen Butterfield,
Bobby Whalen, Al Hackett, this list could go on and on and its all people who gave me the oppportunity to not only play baseball but to get my education and become a man."
Blake James, UMaine Athletic Director
" At this time, coach Steve Trimper will present Mike with the number 3 Maine baseball jersey. The jersey will be officially retired after today's game and will be on display here at Mahaney Diamond in the Palmer Clubhouse for Maine Baseball fans,
players, alumni and supporters to recognize what Mike Bordick has meant to our Maine Baseball program and tradition for the future years at the University of Maine. Thank you, Mike."
