Jim Caple Obituary, Death Cause – A veteran journalist who has covered sports on six different continents and a total of 12 Olympic Games, 20 World Series, and other competitions. Has a passion for many things like baseball, cycling, the Olympics, reading, movies, musicals, and history. The obituary for my former Little League coach was published in my hometown newspaper not too long ago. When he passed away, a piece of my youth went with him along with the rest of my childhood. I’m going to refer to my previous coach as Buttermaker, after the character played by Walter Matthau in “The Bad News Bears.

It wasn’t long after I played for him that movie came out, and I couldn’t help but think of him whenever I saw Matthau. Even though he never brought us any drink in the dugout, I still had a lot of respect for him. He was an effective administrator. He was a lot of fun, and his favorite sport was baseball. Our Little League was broken up into three different divisions: minor, major minor, and major. When I was in minor league, which consisted of players aged 9 and 10, it was essentially the same thing as an instructional league in the sense that we were instructed on how to field a ground ball without wetting our pants.

Or after we had embarrassingly wet our pants, as was sometimes the case. The age range for players in major-minor was 10 to 12 years old, and the level was comparable to that of double- or triple-A. If “Baseball America” or Keith Law had been published at the time, they very certainly would have written on our team. Jimmy has potential as a catcher, but his future is likely to be spent in the outfield due to his arm strength and the fact that he insists on wearing his shin pads to bed, despite the fact that his mother is growing increasingly frustrated with the way they tear the sheets.
