Reply to "What do you remember about your first baseball coach?"

Always had a cigar in one hand and a Budweiser in the other.

Reminds me of my Red Shield football coach in 6th grade. But his was a cig and a National Bo.

He wasn't the head coach, but a club official of some sort who helped out whatever team was practicing, but there was a vet who had lost most of his arm in Korea. We all loved it when he hit fly balls, partly because he was good at it, but mostly because we were in awe of his ability to reach for a ball, toss it, grab the bat stuck under his stump, swing back, and send the ball into orbit.
