Dr. Henry "Hank" DeVincent was one of the greatest student-athletes La Salle will ever see. He was an All-American for the La Salle baseball team in the mid-1950s and went on to play in the minors. Yet DeVincent's true calling was as a healer, becoming one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the Philadelphia area. As we take an inside look at the teams and people that make up La Salle Athletics, learn about the fascinating life of Hank DeVincent in our latest Inside The L feature.

From humble beginnings up until his passing, DeVincent was a baseball star, a distinguished surgeon and a generous soul. Hank was one of a kind. He came to La Salle through the influence of the Christian Brothers and gave back to his alma mater every chance he got. His No. 8 baseball jersey is retired and his name lives on through La Salle's baseball field: Hank DeVincent Field.
