Former Red Sox third base coach
Wendell Kim passed away Sunday at the far too early age of 64. Perhaps the most aggressive Red Sox coach
ever at the hot corner, Kim was famous for sending runners in with reckless abandon. This didn't always sit well with fans, but the teams he coached made the post-season
twice during his four-year stay in Boston. Not bad. Kim was the first Korean-American to wear a major-league uniform and enjoyed a 15-year career as a coach in
The Show. In 1997, Kim was awarded
Man Of The Year honors by the
BoSox Club. He passed away in Arizona from complications of early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
