  • Allen "Mac" Felts Jr. was a standout on Randolph-Macon's baseball team. A four-year letterwinner as a right-handed pitcher, his record on the mound was 23-9. Felts graduated from Randolph-Macon in 1962.
  • In his freshman season, the 1958 Yellow Jackets were 10-6 overall, and Felts had a 3-1 record on the mound. He was named all-Mason Dixon Conference in 1959 with an 8-3 record, as the team was 10-7. Also that season, his .093 earned run average was recognized as one of the best in the NCAA. Randolph-Macon went 17-4 in 1960, and Felts had a 6-3 record. After missing the 1961 campaign because of appendicitis, Felts returned in 1962 to earn all-Mason Dixon Conference honors again, with a 6-2 record. That season, Randolph-Macon was 15-7 in the regular season, and won two of three games against Western Maryland College for the Mason-Dixon championship.
  • Felts continued to be involved in athletics after his graduation. He went on to play semi-pro baseball in the Sertoma League in Richmond, Va., and was an all-star pitcher on a team that won several championships. He is a former NCAA basketball official, was the head baseball coach at J.R. Tucker High School in Richmond for several years in the 1960s, and served on the board of the Lexington Golf & Country Club.
  • A history major at Randolph-Macon, Felts has a career in the insurance and financial services business. He has served Randolph-Macon in many capacities, including: Board of Trustees member; Board of Associates chair; co-chair of the creation of the college's Athletic Hall of Fame; annual fund committee member; President's Society chair; Heritage Society member; and volunteer for career networking and admissions. Felts was the recipient of the Randolph-Macon Society of Alumni Yellow Jacket Salute award in 2000, and helped to establish a scholarship in honor of the late legendary Randolph-Macon baseball coach, Hugh Stephens '41. Stephens was a big part of Felts' experience at Randolph-Macon, and he was proud to bring honor to his coach. Felts says that his success as a student and athlete was all about the college itself, not necessarily himself as an individual.
  • Felts and his wife, Becky, have two adult sons, David and Steven. Felts' brother, Pat, was a 1971 Randolph-Macon graduate. He too played baseball, and was a coach at Lee-Davis High School in Mechanicsville, Va., before his untimely death in the mid-1970s.
