underneath veterans stadium in philadelphia just to tell kevin ward how proud he was. ward told me, the quoecoach kned never give up, and that was the part of him that was out with me on that major league field. and ward, having played sports from the sand lot to professional level regards mike pettine as his greatest coach. today, more than three decades later, i can picture him, standing on the practice field, behind cb west in his trademark baseball cap with wide, frameless winses, whistle around neck, clipboard in his hand, yelling things like, get him out of here! or who can t go! who can t go! that he notched 326 wins is astounding, but his life shouldn t reduced to even those impressive numbers. instead, it will be perpetuated by the many young men that he coached. still to come, your best and worst tweets, like this.
