Tom Goodwin is the first base coach and the coordinator responsible for the baserunning instruction for the Boston Red Sox. We’re taught growing up not to play favorites. But in the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that Goodwin is one of my favorite coaches.
For the majority of live baseball games I’ve attended, I’ve sat either on the side of the first baseline or the side of the third baseline. With all the Red Sox games that I’ve gone to, the one thing that’s stuck out to me (aside from the boys of summer on the field) is coach Tom Goodwin.
