Rick Anderson Born on November 29, 1956. He graduated from Mariner High School in 1975. Attended Everett Community College and ended up going to University of Washington where he graduated. Rick has three kids: Cortnie, Ashley, and Ricky, and is Married to Rhonda.
Rick was drafted by the New York Mets in the 24th round in 1978. Instead of going strait to the Majors he went to the minors. He played for the AAA Tidwaters and the AA Jacksons off and on for both of them. 9 years later after a record of 2-1 in the marjors with a 2.72 earned run average he was traded to the Kansas city Royals. Here ha earned a record of 2-3 with a 6.89 ERA. He retired in 1988 and always wanted to be a coach after he retired from the majors.He got the chance in 2002 to be the Minnesota Twins pitching coach.
I think the best (pro) coaches are often the ones who've played the game themselves in some official capacity.
