Oscar Acosta
Word came this week that two members of the Yankees minor-league staff were killed in a car crash in the Dominican Republic: field coordinator Luis Terrero and rookie league manager Oscar Acosta.
Acosta was the Cubs' pitching coach in 2000 and 2001, part of that dark time I refer to as "The Baylor Years." The notice in the Tribune remembered him as the coach who led the staff to a Major League strikeout record. I remember him most as the guy who chewed out a young pitcher during training camp for telling the team his arm hurt.
We offer our sincerest condolences and sympathies to the families of both men.
