He’s a legend in Philadelphia and is a household name on Baseball Tonight and not so long ago John Kruk was the manager of the Double-A Reading Phillies. He sat down with our friend Jessica Quiroli, who is a must follow on twitter @HeelsOnTheField, and talked about his time going through the minors as a player, the frustrations of being a minor league coach, and the baseball landscape has changed since he made his debut with the San Diego Padres in 1986. It’s a great read.
