Coaching Career
The 2006 season was Hume's 11th consecutive season as the Reds bullpen coach. He was named to his current position in January 1996. He was serving as interim pitching coach because regular pitching coach Vern Ruhle was absent with cancer (Multiple myeloma). Ruhle died in January 2007. Prior to Ruhle's death, Dick Pole was signed to be the pitching coach for the Reds, and Ruhle was assigned to help with the minor leagues. Hume then went back to being the bullpen coach.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
