Carrie, word is Bill Buckner, who lives in Boise, is the Cubs Boise hitting instructor.
Sounds right. A great cub hitter comes home with the Boston connection. KNOWN AS A SERIOUS HITTING instructor so youngsters at Boise had better be prepared.t

Note that we then loaded up the Dominican 1 team with highly experienced former managers as Rick Medina and Juan Cabreja Oneri Fleita and Theo and Jed are figuring it all out
