Not many can walk onto a baseball diamond, toss his baseball cap on the field, and announce to one and all, well, here I am and have everyone in attendance genuflect to your statement. It will never happen. Nobody hires baseball coaches or a manager without a background check on past credentials, past experience, or the type of personality he may bring to the table that will be compatible to the players. This is about the time the baseball coaching applicant hollers, how am I supposed to get experience if nobody will hire me so I can get experience!
