"Coach Hofman's lessons still impact me today.

He was a great motivator. He stressed loyalty and respect and took pride in his responsibilities to his players

-ALEX RODRIGUEZ

 

"Doug Mientkiewicz made a comment that stuck out to me when he said he was more impacted by the life lessons I had taught him than what he learned about baseball from me. And so that's really why you coach."
