Webster Garrison has been a baseball lifer, a former second round draft pick in the 1993 MLB Draft who spent 16 years as a player in the minor leagues, seven of those in the Oakland Athletics organization. Following his playing career, he has served as a minor league coach and manager, helping mold the next generation of A’s players.
