…There are a number of baseball executive types who have greatly impressed me over the years. Most of them from my beloved Dodgers, of course. Danny Goodman comes to mind, and if I am not mistaken, he was also with the Hollywood Stars in the PCL–my boyhood heroes– before the Dodgers.
But Mike Brito, with that speed gun behind home plate, timing pitcher’s pitches really impressed me. I would really love to have him on my nationally broadcast radio show, but I imagine he’s too busy. midnightbookworm@sbcglobal.net
