Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Monday, August 11, 2008
Which is what made Steve ‘Rags’ Monerighetti such a great whatever!
He learned the value of running from teammates back in his playing days. What’s good enough for them is good enough for his players, Baker says.
“I remember watching Ferguson Jenkins in Spring Training,” Baker says. “He ran the whole game—line to line the entire game. And everybody wondered why he went 300 innings. He ran.”
He hopes running will do for Edinson Volquez, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey what it did for his Dodgers teammates, Don Sutton, Tommy John and Rick Sutcliffe, not to mention Jenkins.
“These cats would leave out before [batting practice] running up in the hills around Dodger Stadium, and they wouldn’t come back until the end of BP,” Baker says.

And guess who's dead? Johnny Sain.
David Wells used to have nightmares like this.
Do they have to run with their hat on though?
