The idea of inducting a pitching coach is intriguing, no doubt.

Assistant Coaches are not given their due in any sport - the awards always go to the Managers and Head Coaches.

There have been some noteworthy hitting coaches as well.

Davey Lopes maybe the best 'specialty' coach of All-Time - but he'll never make it.

Ron Washington is making some headway in Atlanta as a specialist in infield defense.

Scouts are given plenty of legendary story-lines of 'landing the big one', but get stiffed as well.

Johnny Sain, as Mr. Z has recounted, is one of the few pitching coaches who 'created' success several times in several different cities and that sets him apart from others making the same efforts.

All that being said, I think we're railing at windmills with this discussion.
