#Baseball From #BostonGlobe:

Minor league manager/hall of fame scout Tom Kotchman retires at age 70.

For most of his career -- mostly with the Angels, then the Red Sox -- he'd scout #Florida for prospects, then after the draft manage the rookie teams, often to titles.

Kotch has the most wins of any manager in minor league history.

He's long been a personal friend as well.
