Having known Coach Kulina for over 2 years during our affiliation with The Baseball Factory, we were shocked and extremely saddened when we got the email last night informing us of his death. In fact, our son emailed us from college (after baseball practice, of course), to tell us how upset he was about the news.
Coach K. was one of a kind, and was one of the most dedicated, hard-working, down-to-earth baseball guys we've ever met. This is a tremendous loss not only for the Kulina family, and The Baseball Factory family, but for the baseball community and for kids whose dreams include playing at the next level. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Kulina family and The Baseball Factory family.
RIP, Coach K., and thanks for everything -- we'll think of you every time our son steps on the college field, knowing how much you did to help him get there...
