Brad Ausmus
Having a strong defense behind the plate as well as being a solid hitter is all any baseball player can wish for, and Brad Ausmus proudly had all that in abundance. During his 18-year Major League Baseball career, he played for the San Diego Padres, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ausmus’ prowess on the pitch didn’t go unnoticed, as he has to his name a 1999 All-Star selection, three Gold Glove Awards, and the Darryl Kile Award for integrity and courage. Ausmus worked as a special assistant to the general manager of the San Diego Padres before leaving to become the manager of the Detroit Tigers.
