VB: Hello, this is Victor Bergonzoli, with SportsEdTV and I have a great pleasure today to have my friend, Howie McCann here. Howie has been a baseball coach forever and father of Major League Baseball player Brian McCann. We are going to have a great series of discussions with Howie over the next few weeks. Howie, welcome.
HM: Thank you so much, Victor.
VB: Tell us about you, you know, where are you from originally?
HM: Originally from Oswego, New York, New York is a boot and Buffalo is on the far west corner. If you go right along to Lake Ontario, when it starts to go north to Canada, there's a little town called Oswego. I lived on the Oswego River, which empties into Lake Ontario. So that is where I got my upbringing.
VB: Nice. And how did you come to baseball as a kid? I mean, in up State New York you can go skiing, you can do bobsleigh.
HM: My parents were very supportive, you know, baby boomers. So, all my buddies were around, and we played baseball all summer, started playing Little League, then in high school and in college and a little bit of pro ball.
