In a great article by Jimmy Gillispie of Stillwater News Press, Matt Holliday talks about the decision to join the Oklahoma State baseball coaching staff.
“Like I said, I still think I can play in the Major Leagues and help a team, but nothing has come my way and so I’m prepared to move on to something I’m passionate about, which is baseball, and helping young guys reach their potential, both personally and the baseball dream. It’s a good fit for me. I still get lots of time to spend with my kids. I still get to feel that competitive spirit and try to reach a goal with a team, but also get to spend time with my family, so it seemed like a good fit.
