A heavenly life in Eugene
Former Astro Stewart enjoying minor-league coaching
sei ife.
He’s so happy and so trans-
orted by what he’s doing after
icing out of baseball seven years
hat he really is singing inside.
“1 got to heaven early,” he
ays, motioning the young play-
r he’s catching with that he’s
years of un sufficiently loose to throw bat-
far policel ing practice. “I was miserable
n auto stop] seven years. Now I’m happy.”
v enforcem It certainly shows. In every
thing Jimmy Stewart does and
ty in other! everything he says. Guys like
Dave Winfield, Mike Schmidt
and Gary Carter are making a
little more money than he is, but
they’re not having as much fun
as he is being totally involved
with what, for the most part, are
school and college kids.
They’re the ones he’s hand
ling as manager of the Eugene
Emeralds in the Class A North
west League. It’s his first year
managing and since the league
opens late, Stewart, who played
13 years with the Cubs, White
Sox, Red Sox and Astros, put in
his first day as a manager last
week.
“I was pumped up, just like
the kids were,” he says, stopping
for only a couple of minutes in
the dugout. “That didn’t come
very hard for me. For 13 years, I
pumped up every day anyway.”
He smiles at that.
Stewart was called “Super
sub” because of his versatility
when he played in the big
leagues. Maybe he didn’t get to
play every day but that wasn’t his
fault. He was ready to play every
day. He came to play.
He isn’t any different as a
first-year manager. He doesn’t
waste time fooling around. He
rKmmxwwwwm.±m.m
shows up to work every day and
doesn’t expend much wasted
motion. His players will tell you
that.
“This is the big leagues to
me,” he say . “Before I got this
job, I was southeastern repre
sentative for Prince Macaroni
Com. in Lowell, Mass. It’s a good
company and they make a good
product. I was getting good
money, a car and an expense
account, but I asked myself, ‘Is
this what I’m going to spend the
rest of my life doing?’
“The years I was out of base
ball, from 1974 to 1981, were
long years,” Stewart says. “Real
long. I had two boys, 12 and 9,
when I left baseball after playing
for Houston in 1972 and 1973.
My wife, Donna, wanted me to
get out. Surprisingly enough,
she was my biggest booster when
it came to me getting back. I
guess she could tell how much I
wanted to.
“This is what I want to spend
the rest of my life doing. I want
to stay with these people right
here,” he says, pointing to the
logo on his warmup shirt that
says Cincinnati Reds, the club
with whom the Emeralds enjoy a
working agreement.
Most of the Eugene players
are rookies. That means they
have been professionals only a
few days. Orsino Hill, a lean 20-
year-old left-handed hitter with
good power from Altadena,
Calif., comes over and asks Ste
wart how many swings everyone
is allowed in the cage. Stewart
tells him five.
The parent Reds do a thor
ough investigating job on all
their young players before they
sign them. They talk to the play
ers’ teachers, guidance counse
lors and parents to find out ex
actly what kind of young men
they’re getting. They also let the
players know what is expected of
them. Bob Howsam, the Reds’
former president, instituted that
policy and Dick Wagner, their
present one, uses it also.
“I guarantee you that when
these kids leave here in Septem
ber, none of ‘em will have any
moustaches or beards and all of
them will know how to say, ‘Yes,
sir’ and ‘No sir’ and ‘Yes ma’am’
and ‘No ma’am. ”
