When Matt McClain's youth league needed a coach for the adaptive program for kids with physical and intellectual challenges, his dad stepped in. The Reds rookie reflects on how the lessons he learned from helping his dad coach shaped his perspective:
Hudler told the story on the air this past week when the Reds were in Kansas City. Before Monday’s game, Hudler let his broadcast partner, Ryan Lefebvre, know that he was going to have trouble speaking when McLain came up because he was going to be so emotional thinking about the McLain family and seeing Matt in the big leagues.
“We had some characters on that team,” McLain said. “We had one kid who liked to sing. He’d always get ahold of a microphone I was supposed to be monitoring and I’d always forget.” “We just pounded down the doughnuts and hit the ball off the tee,” Mike McLain said. “We’d play our game in the afternoon and a lot of the families would come back and watch us play.”
