A Clueless Markus
Markus was actually the first baseball coach for Jimmy at the club where he was scouted. At the time, he did it as a side job for a friend. He worked hard with Jimmy because the kid was motivated and showed obvious talent. Then, Markus told other scouts to check him out, which was why he got to the pro leagues.
Very Important
Time hadn’t been very kind to Markus. After that, he lost his job and couldn’t continue coaching. Then, his girlfriend left, and he wound up on the street. Some might argue that he was relatively successful because of his painting skills.
