One of the more interesting story lines going into this weekend's opening series with Kalamazoo is the fact that John Sexton, Beach Bums Pitching Coach from 2007-08, will be serving in the same role with the Beach Bums chief rival, the Kalamazoo Kings...
Sexton (Pictured at left chatting with Nick Pepper on the mound) helped the Beach Bums to the top pitching staff in the league last season...He, along with former Manager Jon Cahill (Hitting Coach for Washington), are both with East Division teams for 2009...It will be interesting to see if how well they know the returners (There are currently 10 returners including six pitchers on the Traverse City roster) will work for or against their new teams...
I bring this up because the Kalamazoo Gazette ran a story about Sexton today...It is linked below and is a good look into how he handled the Beach Bums during his two years in addition to how he will handle the Kings...
From a Bum to a King
