TRENTON, N.J. -- There's a glow to the skin of New York Yankees Double-A manager Bobby Mitchell. It comes from hitting endless fungoes in the sun, a physical trait of a baseball lifer.
Mitchell happens to be one of just four men to play for teams that made the Little League World Series, the College World Series and the MLB World Series. He was an outfielder on the 1981 Fernando-mania Dodgers for 10 games, but didn’t appear in October when L.A. won the Series.
Later in the 1980s, he worked in the Montreal Expos' system, tutoring the likes of Larry Walker, Marquis Grissom and Rondell White.
