Thought I would take a moment to thank newly retired Brian Cooper for his sterling service to the Giants franchise, as an organization soldier, there to help out where he can. Sure, he wasn't even a regular roster palyer for a season (or probably even a month?), but he came up and gave up good spot starts when needed over many years, and even when he went to Japan to play (and get good salary), he then came back to the Giants and pitched in AAA for us.
Players like him sacrifice their lives, essentially, in devotion to the team, to baseball, with rarely any fanfare or notice. So I wanted to say I took notice and wanted to show my appreciation for the role he played with the Giants throughout his long professional career.
That's why I am glad the Giants gave him a job as a pitching coach for the team's affiliate in the Arizona Rookie League. Good luck Brian, in the next phase of your career.
