Around
the same time I was writing about Bessie Largent last week, the Mariners went
out and hired 22-year old Amanda Hopkins as the first fulltime female baseball
scout since…Bessie Largent retired in the 1950s. Hopkins’ father works in the front office for
the Rangers, so it’s a good bet the child was influenced by seeing what the
parent did for a living. We all make an
impression on our kids. Too bad for
Clare it was watching her dad trying to fill up a computer screen with
words. If only the old man had any
decent connections, she might be out bird-dogging in Georgia or Oklahoma during
the holidays.
