I have 21 cards of Don August. This one is from 1989 Topps.
Playing career: Don August had a great rookie season in
1988, going 13-7 with a 3.09 ERA. He lasted only three more years in the major
leagues after that, however, never again posting an ERA under 5.31.
My memories: I remember him vaguely from the Brewers, but
nothing specific.
Where he is now: He is a sixth grade History and Reading
teacher as well as a baseball coach in the Menomonee Falls School District in
Wisconsin. He shared some of his thoughts on being a baseball
player-turned-teacher with the blog Baseball by the Letters.
Google Autocomplete results: He is tenth when you type Don
Au, after Don Aucoin, a Boston Globe theater critic. Another prominent Don
August is an actor who had some small roles in small films in the mid-2000s.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Sam August.
