The longtime high school coach was also a professional manager. From 1971 to 1973, he managed in the Philadelphia Phillies’ minor league system, winning a pennant in 1973 in Auburn, N.Y. He also earned the league’s Manager of the Year award that season.
Lloyd played collegiately at the University of North Carolina. On his team was former Georgia Southern coach Jack Stallings, also a member of the Georgia Dugout Club Hall of Fame.
The baseball facility at Westminster is named “Harry Lloyd Stadium” in his honor.
