Scott Price and Scott Lane Join Me to Discuss Minor League Baseball
Scott Price, author of the book Heart of the Game: Life, Death and Mercy in Minor League America, and Scott Lane, president of the West Michigan Whitecaps baseball team, discuss life in minor league baseball.
Heart of the Game is the story of how on July 22, 2007, minor league baseball player Tino Sanchez Jr. hit a foul ball that struck his team’s recently hired first base coach, Mike Coolbaugh (Tulsa Drillers—Rockies AA team), at the precise point on the back of his neck to cut off blood to his brain, killing him instantly.
Lane and Price gave unique perspectives on working and living in the minor leagues.
