Author Biography
Kevin Long was named the hitting coach of the New York Yankees in 2007 Before that, he served as the hitting coach of the Triple-A Omaha Royals and the Double-A Wichita Wranglers. He made his professional coaching debut at Single-A Wilmington in 1997 after eight seasons as a player in the minors. Long played college ball at the University of Arizona, where he earned second-team All-America honors in 1989. He resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, with his wife Marcey, and their three children, Britney, Tracy, and Jaron. Glen Waggoner, a founding editor of ESPN The Magazine, is the coauthor of Bobby Murcer's New York Times bestselling autobiography A Yankee for Life, as well as the bestsellers My Life In Out of the Rough with John Daly and Clearing the Bases with Mike Schmidt. Waggoner was one of the founding fathers of Rotis-serie League Baseball, which sparked the fantasy sports movement in America.
