NC State baseball only has one retired jersey number (coach Sam Esposito) but the school has decided to honor Chris Combs (No. 26) for his outstanding career and his relentless pursuit of a cure for ALS.

Chris and his family have raised more than $4 million for Project ALS

Combs was the star of Coach Elliott Avent's first NC State team in 1997 and was a prodigious home-run hitter but was drafted as a pitcher


With the spring season canceled, details are still being worked out about when to honor Combs

Well deserved
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

#STRIKEOUTALS
On September 3, 2020, NC State baseball lost a special member of its program in former player Chris Combs. He lost a four-year battle with ALS at the age of 45.

Combs' jersey number (26), which was honored in the spring of 2020, can be found on the padding in right field to remember his outstanding baseball career and tireless pursuit for a cure for ALS. His jersey can also be found hanging in the dugout during every NC State baseball game.

This year's annual ALS game will be held April 16 against Boston College. The two teams share a special connection with ALS, as BC's Pete Frates also lost his life to the disease in 2019 at the age of 34 and like Combs, he spent his final years in pursuit for a cure.
