The Virginia Tech baseball program recently brought in one of the sport's most recognizable television personalities. ESPN analyst Tim Kurkjian spoke on Saturday at Baseball Night in Blacksburg. 

The event returned this year after a one-year hiatus and it was held in the Lane Stadium President's Suite. Kurkjian shared several fun baseball stories from his career and talked about some of the personalities he has met. 

After his presentation, attendees lined up to talk to him and take a photo. Hokies head coach John Szefc also spoke and guests could take part in a silent auction that benefited the baseball program.
