Another former big-league pitcher is joining Saint Stephen's baseball coaching staff.
Bradenton resident Scott Eyre, who spent 13 seasons in the majors and won a World Series ring with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008, will work as the Falcons' pitching coach under new head coach Scott Sauerbeck.
Eyre appeared in 617 games, mostly in relief, for the Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs and the Phillies. He led the majors with 86 apperances in '05 while with the Giants.
No stranger to postseason baseball, Eyre had a 1.32 in 24 postseason games, and was especially good in the World Series. He appeared in three Fall Classics, two with the Phillies and one with the Giants, and didn't allow an earned run in 5 1/3 innings.
Sauerbeck, who told of Eyre's hiring Tuesday, was Saint Stephen's pitching coach for three years. He was named the head coach Monday.
