Coaches Corner Booth

When there is no guest, we don't make good decisions on the podcast.  Crank calls are timeless!

Andy Young joins #CCB for a look into the life of the voice behind the game of baseball.  Andy spent the better part of his "young" adult life traveling around the country announcing baseball games for professional organizations.  So many stories come out of this conversation that we have decided to have Andy back often for his own segment.  Mad Max's Minutes with Jason Maxwell,  Things that surprise John and some talk about a condom for airplanes????

Scott Shibles joins the boys for a chat about the life of a AD during a time when Deering High won 24 state championships in a 10 year span from the late 90's to early 00's.  Also, a new segment, Cyrously, with Glen Cyr.  Our most outspoken critic and president of Tim's fan club and vice president of the I Hate John fanclub.  Mad Max Minutes return in usual ridiculous fashion with Jason Maxwell.  Things that surprise John is ruined by Tim.

Podcast favorites Danica Gleason, now owner of Maine Hits in Scarborough Maine, and John Gleason host the Coaches Corner Booth.  Danica and John decided to buy Maine Hits from founder and longtime softball coach Bob Williamson this past spring.  One of Danica's first calls was to former professional baseball player and Maine native, Nic Lops.  Nic will oversee baseball operations while Danica does the rest.  Nic is a graduate of Cheverus High School in Portland and St. Joseph's College in Windham.  Along with his duties as baseball director at Maine Hits, Nic is currently an assistant coach at both of his alma maters.  This summer you can also find Nic coach third base at the Sanford Mainers games in the New England College Baseball League.  

Coaches Corner Booth gets a surprise caller.  Steve from Bonny Eagle somehow finds out the phone number for Coaches Corner Booth and has some stuff to say.  John finally calls in from the road.  Mad Max Minutes is back - a fan favorite.  Hutch, Tim and Jason debate whether or not golf is a sport.
