Love that Schaeffer could be baseball’s Ted Lasso. There’s no team that needs it more. Great work Sam!
"You say impossible, but all I hear is 'I'm possible.'" -Ted Lasso
Warren Schaeffer was tasked with the impossible, but instead of letting the whole Rockies ship sink, he managed to keep it slightly above water (like Jack Sparrow's).
And that's a testament to who he is as a human and as a leader.
