Leo Mazzone grew up in rural western Maryland where a paper mill was the best job you could get. I watched Leo pitch for a small catholic school and yes, he was pretty darn good. He has been a constant student of the game and very willing to share his knowledge and experience. When he made the minor leagues, our town was thrilled and we followed his career with great interest. Yeah, he talks a bit rough at times but you had to be tough in the little town he grew up in. Does he deserve another opportunity? Yes. Can he make a difference? Yes. Does he love baseball? No doubt. Leo grew up down valley from Lefty Grove and by most accounts is the most successful athlete to come out of western Maryland, ‘cept for ol’ Lefty. I’m proud of you Leo. Hang in there. Somewhere out there is a kid with your heart who needs your teaching and skills. You will never leave baseball Leo, the game would never allow it. Rob Michael

Furman,

If you had checked…

Sam Perlozzo is now the third base coach for the Philadelphia Phillies…

Furman,

Wrong…again! Old pal Sam is not the third base coach for Seattle…Bruce Hines is. Check your facts before you write the story…

Leo taught me how to throw a spit ball.

Leo is a great guy. I know him personally and both he and his wife are stand up people. It’s dangerous to let your perception of one area of a person’s life skew your total perception of them as a person. Let’s stick to the professional critique…

Mr. Bisher:
How can I get my hands on the documentary piece on the development of the Myrtle Beach area? I’ve seen it once or twice but can’t find out how to locate it. I only ask you because you are mentioned in it as being one of the four or five main players in the development.
I’d love to get it on a DVD.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I get a kick out of these leo bashers. If you think that leo was just going for the ride. back in the late nineties he took a staqff of over the hill players and turned it into the bull pen with the lowest team era in baseball. the only thing is that the team was only averaging 3 runs a game and came up short in the post season. throughout most of the nineties and the early 2000s the pitching staff carried a collection of stiffs at the plate. the last five years we havent had a desent pitching staff. last season we had quite a few big boppers and a bull pen that couldnt hold down thier lunch much less a lead then we traded two integral pieces of our offense and we fell apart. during the off season the free agents avoided the braves like the plague. we tried to get peavy and the padres pulled the plug on any deals and then there was the furcal deal that fell through. You cant blame roger on all of that but we havent been the same team without leo. Give it a rest about leos short coming and remember his successes. Hes a great motivater and his work ethic is beyond question. I would wecome him back in a minute
