It’s probably time to create a keyboard shortcut — Ctrl+Shift+M, something to the effect of “one of the youngest coaches/executives in the game today” — to insert into stories about Twin Cities sports leaders.
It would save time, and the applications are endless.
Rocco Baldelli, P.J. Fleck, Richard Pitino, Lindsay Whalen, Derek Falvey … and now Ryan Saunders. All of them in their 30s, all among the youngest (or the very youngest) in their professions. Heck, even 40-year-old new Wolves executive Gersson Rosas is young by most measures.
Sure, Saunders isn’t quite brand new to this list.
