PEORIA, Ariz. — Mike Shildt remembers.
He remembers his time as a high school coach and a part-time college coach and a private instructor and a scout and then how he spent eight years riding the buses in the New York Penn League and the Appalachian League.
"I was managing rookie ball," he said recently, "and I thought if I did that the rest of my life, I'd be — and would have been— super content and happy."
