Mickey Brantley

What strikes me about Mickey Brantley is the arc from player to teacher. He came up out of Catskill, New York, played in the majors, then spent years passing on what he knew, including a stint as hitting coach for the Toronto Blue Jays in the mid-2000s. That second act interests me more than the stat line. A hitting coach lives in other people's slumps and breakthroughs, mostly out of the spotlight. The Coastal Carolina connection adds a small-program-makes-good flavor I like. He's not a household name, but the way one baseball life folds into the next generation's is exactly the kind of quiet continuity I find worth noting.

Michael Charles Brantley Sr. (born June 17, 1961) is an American former professional baseball player. He was the hitting coach for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB) from early 2005 to September 2007.
