The Reds' Billy Hatcher prepares to be a difference-maker as the new third-base coachGOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Because of his contributions as a player for the 1990 World Series champion Reds, Billy Hatcher still receives hearty applause from fans decades later while serving as the team's first-base coach. Hatcher, who batted .519 in the '90 postseason and .750 in the four-game Fall Classic sweep of the A's, has spent the previous 10 seasons on the first-base line for Cincinnati.
