Coaching and Managerial Career

He managed at Tampa in 1990 then led Fort Lauderdale in 1991 and was named a coach for the Florida State League All-Star Game. His 3-year minor league managerial record wrapped up at 121-128 (.486) and then he went down under to hone his managerial skills in the winter of 1993, leading the Canberra Bushrangers in the Australian Baseball League.

Sherlock was catching instructor for the Yankees twice, working in the bullpen in 1992, then once again in 1994 and 1995. He was employed for 10 seasons in the Yankee chain either as a minor league player, coach or manager.

Sherlock is in his 24th year in professional baseball and he's the only member of Arizona's original coaching staff that has been on board since the outset in 1998. He is in the second year of his second stint as the bullpen coach, a position where he spent his first 5 seasons. Sherlock replaced Bob Melvin as the bench coach in 2003, when Melvin took the managerial role in Seattle. Glenn started the 2004 season as the first base coach, but took over on the third base line after Al Pedrique was named manager.

Famous quotes containing the word career:

    I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.
    Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
