Nearly two full years following his retirement from Major League Baseball, Clint Barmes is still hanging around the diamond.
But now, the former Rockies infielder who also played for the Astros, Pirates and Padres is making his impact felt from the dugout. Barmes is a volunteer coach for Berthoud High School, the head coach of his 10-year-old son’s baseball team and an assistant coach on his 7-year-old daughter’s softball team.
While the Mead resident has been coaching his kids for several years now, the Berthoud gig is new this spring and provides the 39-year-old with the chance to help the Spartans make their first postseason appearance in nearly two decades.
