If every head coach in college football ran a 5k race who would you bet on to win that race?

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time.... In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day. Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys. My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on. We didn't win. 19 consecutive losing seasons. 2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive. After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over. "My mom wants to talk to you." We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons. She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up. Roberto Jr. translated. "My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy." She was staring right at me. Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth: "I promise you, Vera. That won't happen." Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it." I said, "I hope I can keep it too." I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it. The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20. On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field. And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life. The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug. Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them. @Pirates

@devinmaxwell55 @ClintHurdle13 @GenericSalesGuy I figured some West Virginia institutions may deem that worthy of college credit

@bkropp8 @ClintHurdle13 @GenericSalesGuy for them to ghost write on a personal twitter? grasping at straws to say the least

@WVBuccoDad @ClintHurdle13 C’mon Brian, don’t do another Brian like that. Stick to the code

@ClintHurdle13 @bkropp8 No chance a published author could write out a whole 1 page story 😱

@ClintHurdle13 @GenericSalesGuy It would be a great opportunity for a young guy or gal out of college

@ClintHurdle13 @GenericSalesGuy I never said AI, just figured you had an unpaid intern dictating the stories
English
@GenericSalesGuy @bkropp8 I wrote a book without using AI. These short shares are part of my next book.

Didn’t matter that it was a contract year. All I cared about was the postseason and leaving it all on the field. I’ll always cherish my chapter with the @Brewers and now forever being a part of the wall of honor 🙌🏾
