1993 Studio Vince Coleman

Hobby is golf: Coleman built his home in Scottsdale next to a golf course so he could play there whenever he wanted. He once injured Dwight Gooden while swinging a golf club in the Mets clubhouse.

Favorite sports announcer is Mike Shannon: Shannon has been a Cardinals announcer for over 40 years.

Favorite player as a kid was Rod Carew: Though best known for his hitting, Carew was also a noted base stealer, much like Coleman.

Most prized possession is his Pete Rose bat: Interesting choice, a player and manager from another team.

Might have been a school teacher if he hadn’t been an athlete: Coleman did not go into teaching after his baseball career.

Pet peeve is dirty cars: See that is why he threw that firecracker out of his car window. He was just cleaning up!

Where he is now: Baserunning coach for the Giants.
