AUBURN, Ala. - If the Los Angeles Dodgers win the World Series for the first time in nearly three decades, they might want to send a Thank You note to Butch Thompson.
Without Auburn’s baseball coach, the Dodgers might be without pitcher Grant Dayton, one of many rookies responsible for leading LA to the postseason.
“I guess you could say he started my career,” Dayton says.
Ten years ago, Dayton was a senior at Bob Jones High School in Madison, Alabama. Thompson was Auburn’s pitching coach.
