WASHINGTON -- Nationals third base coach Bob Henley was jealous of catchers when he was a 12-year-old. He wanted to be involved in every play, but as a shortstop he often waited for the ball to come towards him.
So, his dad drove him about 10 miles from their home in Mobile, Ala., to a University of South Alabama baseball clinic, where Henley learned the fundamentals of playing catcher. He continued to develop those skills, and became a Major League backstop.
On Saturday morning, Henley and other Nationals coaches gave back to children during the Nationals/Inova Youth Baseball Clinic at Nationals Park by instructing them through drills.
