RIP: Johnny Sain
Former Brave and Leo Mazzone mentor, Johnny Sain, died yesterday. I hope it is a comfort to know that he died as someone who mattered. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family
Addendum: Jeff Merron has some great interviews with Sain’s friends—Jim Bouton, Hal Naragon, Denny McClain, Mickey Lolich, and Leo Mazzone—over at The Southpaw.
The greatest travesty in Cooperstown is that this man, the greatest pitching coach in the history of the game, is not honored there.
