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.
