Jersey Magazine 2-13-22
Each week on the Jersey Magazine we pick topics of local interest to our listeners.
Jim Monaghan‘s guests this morning are former MLB player Jeff Frye and Pace University Athletic Hall of Famer Kevin Gallagher.
Youth and high school baseball and softball are just a few weeks away. If you coach at any of those levels, and you’ve spent any time on online looking for coaching tips, you know just how toxic social media can be these days, especially when it comes to hitting.
Jeff Frye is a 9-year major league veteran whose “She Gone” movement came about in response to some of the more outlandish claims some hitting “experts” make on their social media accounts.
Kevin Gallagher recently wrote a book called Baseball: Teach Your Kid to Hit…So They Don’t Quit! in an effort to show parents what they need to know in order to help their children do what many consider to be the hardest thing to do in sport – hit a baseball. Kevin explains how to teach your child to hit in easy-to-understand terms, with illustrations for reinforcement.
In addition to talking about the book, Jim Monaghan, Jeff, and Kevin talk about the Save the Game movement. As you probably know, there have been a number of changes in recent years to our National Pastime, not all of them good. For fans who love the game and want to see it continue to grow, check that link out.
Get more details on Kevin’s book, including how to purchase, here.

This week on Rock N’ Ruff, we present Romeo from Randolph Regional Animal Shelter. He’s a shelter favorite of our friend Sunny Nowell who runs the shelter and he is so handsome! .
COACH SHEETS’ RIDE IN – Jeremy Sheetinger is the head baseball coach at Georgia Gwinnett College where he led the Grizz Gang to the 2021 NAIA National Championship. His weekly “fire me up” tweet every Thursday may, on the surface, be geared toward his fellow baseball coaches, but his motivational message can easily be applied to the classroom, workplace, and your personal relationships. This week, Coach Sheets talks about different ways to build your team – on the field, in the classroom, or in the workplace.
