Nationals' bench coach Chris Speier back in baseball with one goal in mind...

Chris Speier has worked with Dusty Baker before in Chicago and Cincinnati and now the two are back together in Washington with one goal in mind, getting Baker and the Nationals a World Series ring. He's also just happy to be back in baseball...

Without Googling the answer: Do you know which team drafted Chris Speier out of high school? If you said it was the San Francisco Giants, with whom he signed out of college after they made him the no.2 overall pick in 1970... you were wrong. Sorry. It was the Washington Senators that drafted Speier out of high school in the 11th Round of the 1968 Amateur Draft.
