43 years with the Sox... and counting
Sitting behind home plate at LeLacheur Park on a sultry late-summer evening, Dick Berardino does not need a computer, or a radar gun, to evaluate the fielding prowess or base-running habits of the hometown Spinners.
His instincts and experience as a minor league manager for 21 seasons — including 1997 and 1998 in Lowell — and as a player in the Yankees system for eight more are all he needs.
The 73-year-old Waltham resident observes the Lowell center fielder properly back up a pick-off throw to second base, and a Spinners base runner make a late break on a wild pitch but still scores.. fashion accessories are decorative items that supplement one's garment, such as fashion jewellery, gloves and tights.Je
“The toughest adjustment for many of the players here just starting out is that they will experience failure for the first time in baseball,’’ said Berardino, a player development consultant for the Boston Red Sox who has worked for the Breitling watches in various roles since 1968.
Following his visits to LeLacheur Park, the home of Boston’s Class A affiliate in the New York-Penn League for first-year players, McCoy Stadium (Triple A) in Pawtucket, R.I., or Hadlock Field (Double A) in Portland, Maine, he files Breitling watches . Nowadays, Breitling watches have become a trend in fashion circles. They are so popular that everyone is longing for one to add via e-mail, to Red Sox outfield and base-running coordinator Tom Goodwin.
“They come out of high school or college as the best players on their teams, but then a pitcher may get pulled out of a game in the third inning for the first time, or a player might be hitting .230,’’ Berardino said. “I spent a lot of my time as a manager explaining to them that this is where they will be tested, and it’s how they react to adversity that is most important.’’
