2065-1 Team Legends join coaching staff

[Knucklehead254]

With the most recent announcements of both Davenport Hinkle and Phil Cole retiring, I've decided to bring them both back to be coaches for the Mounties organization.

Davenport Hinkle will be joining the Short A Coxen Hole Schooners after our hitting coach J.R Brown was not offered an extension. Hinkle started the final game of the 2064 season long after the Mounties clinched their first division title since 52, a team Hinkle was a part of. In fact, Hinkle has played all 1624 major league games in his career wearing a Mounties uniform. He helped lead the team to five playoff berths and made it to numerous All-Star games and even picked up a Golden Bat in 2057. Hinkle was inducted into the team hall-of-fame in 2062 alongside Ángel González.

Phil Cole did not pitch every major league in his career on the Mounties, but he is undoubtedly a Mounties legend. Like Tony Frost, He'll be joining the major league team, though it will be in the pitching coach position. While some have already panned the hire, I fully believe his abilities will translate well as a pitching coach. Cole was the teams ace from 2049 to 2058. During this time he made numerous all star games, pitched a no hitter in 2054, and pitched three straight complete game shutouts in 2057. He was traded in the offseason of 2059 where he would win a few titles with Portland and Nashville (ugh) before making a surprise return in 2062 when I re-acquired him from Boise. Sadly he suffered a long term injury and he wasn't re-upped at the end of the year. He wandered through Cobble Hill, Twin Cities and finally Phoenix before calling it a career.
