What Might Have Been…..

Back in November of 2004 Wally Backman was named manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The hire lasted all of 5 days as it was uncovered that he had been arrested twice and had major financial problems. Below is a glimpse of what might have been if these issues had never been unearthed. This is video of Wally coaching third base for the South Georgia Peanuts. (Not Safe For Work)
