6/19/6: Sports Illustrated: ABL a Major League Pipeline - "Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona and Tim Wallach, who would go on to win three Golden Gloves with the Montreal Expos, were assigned to run a clinic when they played for the Goldpanners in 1978. The second day we got bored, Francona said. We went to McDonalds, and the kids we were supposed to watch got into a rock fight. Francona, who guided the 2004 Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years, served out the rest of the season as his star teammates chauffeur. Wallach was such a good player that my job was to make sure he got to the ballpark, Francona said. The following year, Wallach won the Golden Spikes award for best college player after leading Cal State-Fullerton to its first national championship."
