A group of us met with the third base coach of the Florida Marlins, Bo Porter, over bagels and OJ at the athletic center before class the other day. Bo was a two-sport star at the University of Iowa in football and baseball and played professionally for Oakland, Texas, and Atlanta. Bo was very engaging and gave us the insight on how coaches deal with players and management. At one point our discussion was interrupted by SDSU's baseball coach, Tony Gwynn, who knew Mr. Porter and came in to say hello. Upon leaving, Tony Gwynn apologized for interrupting our meeting and I was thinking to myself, "Yeah, take your 3,141 hits and get the hell out of here!" Can you imagine? Tony Gwynn apologizing to a group of baseball nuts for coming into the room!?! It was a great way to start the day.
