I played for Coach Cobb 66-68. He understood the game and understood better than anyone how to teach the game. He loved to pitch while we were practicing "situations" as I recall he called them. He demanded excellence but was quick to put his arm around you when you made a mistake. Despite his laser focus he had a wonderful sense of humor and delighted in racing those of us lumbering slow guys at the end of practice ....referred to as the turtle race of which I was proud participant. In addition to baseball he was a terrific history teacher and knew how to create a passion for this subject. The world has lost one of the great ones.
Rest in Peace Coach and thanks for helping to mold me into the person I am today.
