Coach Spotlight: Five-year First Tee - Cleveland Coach Randy Kula recently had the honor of throwing out the Ceremonial First Pitch at a Cleveland Guardians game at Progressive Field!

A longtime baseball fan, Randy started collecting player cards at age 7, and he has now completed the collection with a photo of every Cleveland player since 1901.

Randy was also interviewed on the Guardians TV network about his collection, and he and his family were treated to behind-the-scenes experiences as part of their exciting day. Well done, Coach Randy!
