Koehnke, 51, has been on a baseball field for a long time. He played four years for the University of Central Florida and even spent a year with Boise in the Northwest League in 1987.
Back then, he was a "righty" for batting and throwing and played shortstop, second base and the outfield.
But now, he "plays" all over the field.
