Doug Kingsmore Experience: 1951-54 Sport: Baseball

Kingsmore played for the Clemson varsity from 1952-54. An All-ACC and All-District III outfielder in 1954, Kingsmore became the first Clemson player in history to hit 10 home runs in a season. He did that in 1954 while playing in just 24 games. He led the ACC in home runs and runs scored (25) that year and led the Tigers in batting average (.371), slugging percentage (.742) and RBIs (27).

The native of Aiken, SC combined with Billy O'Dell to lead Clemson to the 1954 ACC Championship, the first ACC championship in Clemson athletic history. He was inducted into Clemson's athletic Hall of Fame in 1985.

On January 28, 2000, the Clemson Athletic Department announced that former Clemson baseball star and current Board of Trustees member Doug Kingsmore gave the athletic department a $1 million gift towards the renovation of Clemson University's baseball stadium. It was also announced that the facility would be known as Doug Kingsmore Stadium, Home of the Clemson Baseball Tigers.
