Chris LeeIn January 2010, I got a call asking if I could be in California by early the next morning. I could. I was texted an address in a warehouse area of Huntington Beach and a time to be there. The Cardinals new hitting coach, Mark McGwire, would be waiting for Post-Dispatch photographer Chris Lee and me.
