Back to School
It looks like Craig Biggio is about to become a high school baseball coach. Those are lucky youngsters:
I've said nasty things about Biggio in the past. But I say bravo with this move. It seems most ex-jocks like Biggio take the easy cash to be a team consultant, or try to get managing or coaching jobs in the majors. Tony Gwynn is the only other big name I can immediately think of who has done something like this, but he's only coaching his old college team, San Diego State.
Scott Brosius is coaching a D-II or D-III in Oregon.
Brosius is at Linfield College, a D-III school in the Northwest Conference.
I think this is great for Biggio and the highschool kids. He might help more get to the majors or atleast have a better shot at it. You should visit my baseball blog at www.statimagician.com
Greg (The Bull) Luzinski did it at son's HS team in NJ till school officials banned him because he did not have college degree.
