Calgary Hires New Coach, Promotes Two

The Calgary Pioneers have announced that they are hiring Fox Mulder as the new pitching coach of the Havana Cigars, Calgary’s affiliate in the Sunshine League. Mulder spend 11 seasons on the mound for Calgary before being traded to Carolina (Rockford) where he finished his career. He topped 200 K’s five years in a row for the club. Mulder, 104-103 for his career in Calgary, is high on the team leaderboards in several categories.

“It is great getting Fox back with the team,” GM Kevin Dickson said. “We now have 14 former Calgary players in our coaching ranks.”

Mulder was one of the Calgary alumni seen at the team’s facility at the end of last season, speculating rumors that there would be a shakeup in the coaching staff. The changes ended up being much less dramatic than those rumors indicated. Calgary kept it’s major league coaching staff and AAA St. Paul’s staff the same as in 2038.

Duluth manager Dennis Cottrill retired after 24 years with the organization, making the playoffs 16 times. His exit set up some musical chairs in the system. Steve Thomas was promoted to take over the Duluth franchise and Perry Eccles was promoted to fill Thomas as the pitching coach in Quebec. With Mulder filling the pitching coach job in Havana, the team is still looking for a hitting coach. Will the team add another Calgary alum and make it 15?

Did Eccles lose weight? His picture isn't as fat as in his playing days...

You always bring that up! He got healthy in Havana. Lots of fruit, exercise, stayed away from the rum. Now that he’s in Quebec who knows?

Was there a poutine-related clause in his contract?

Only thing we missed on vacation. I’ve never tasted it and it wasn’t served at the places we went to in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Wife got her lobster though, in all versions.
