Pitching Coach Knows His Wine, Too

Don Cooper may not equal Alex Rodriguez in name recognition among those who are fans of Major League Baseball, but Cooper deserves a tip of the cap for his work to raise funds for St. Baldrick's Child Cancer Research Center and the Journey Church in Tennessee.

Journey Church is involved in a number of humanitarian efforts locally and internationally.

Working with Kameryn Vineyards, Cooper (the pitching coach for the Chicago White Sox) is producing Coopernet Cabernet Sauvignon, and $20 from each case sold will be split by the two charities.

That kind of work is a home run in our book - or, since Cooper is a pitching coach, perhaps we should call it a no-hitter.
