He spent 17 years as a player in the minor and major leagues and five years as a manager in the Chicago Cub's organization. His last position was bullpen coach for the Cub's, a position in which he was beginning his third year.
His major league career included stints with the Philadelphia Phillies, Seattle Mariners, Cubs and Texas Rangers. While with Philadelphia he played brifley with the Toledo Mud Hens. A major highlight of his career was hitting two grand-slam home runs in the same game.
His dream began on a sandlot in Ottawa, Ohio.
