The MLB legend played under a lot of coaches and managers. He shared that a few managers made him enjoy the hard work, while a few made him feel the opposite.
“I’ve had coaches hitting coaches, managers in baseball that I knew they had my best interest at heart, and because of that, if they said jump, I would say how high and I would do it without thought. The opposite, Harry, is also true. I’ve had coaches that I felt that they had my worst interest at heart, so anything they told me I questioned.”
