The Cubs have an
opening in the dugout now that Dale Sveum got the axe. From what I can tell, they’re not looking for
John Wayne or any other tall, silent types.
According to team president Theo Epstein, “There has to be tough love,
but there has to be love before there’s tough love.” Calling Dr. Oz.
The pros are different
than high school and college, where the athlete is expected to fit into the
program. All parents can do is pray their
kid doesn’t end up buried on the bench.
Clare had it easy in high school because Euks loved her bat from day one. College was more of a challenge. Coach Brown did things old-school: she made
her girls earn playing time. Starting
the first day of practice, what they did as high school seniors mattered not at
all.
Clare had to prove
herself, and did. That’s how she ended
up a freshman batting cleanup. But sign
someone to a $60 million contract, and it’s a whole new ballgame.
