My Take
Bud Black represents a kind of baseball lifer I genuinely respect. A left-handed pitcher out of San Diego State, he logged fifteen big-league seasons before reinventing himself as a manager with the Padres and Rockies. I have a soft spot for pitchers who become skippers; they carry the lonely wisdom of the mound into the dugout, and it tends to make them patient with their arms. Black's career is not defined by gaudy statistics but by sheer endurance and presence. Staying in the game for decades, on both sides of the white lines, earns my admiration more than any single highlight.
