On the late Jim Ridley

Every kind word about this man is true.

Not too many opposing coaches rooted for me the way Jim did. I was with High Park then Kitchener during his minor baseball coaching days.

Sure, he ran the Milton club, with his twins in the line-up, but he supported young Canadian players no matter which dugout they came out of.

I've lost touch with most of today's baseball coaches and administrators. I just hope somewhere, someone is still doing it like Jim did, with grace, kindness and class.

Great article:
