After years of publicly pining for a shot to manage a professional baseball team, former San Francisco Giants first baseman J.T. Snow has finally been granted his wish. On Thursday, the Modesto Glow Riders named Snow their manager for the team’s inaugural season.
The Glow Riders are the newest members of the Pioneer League, an independent minor league that the Oakland Ballers won last season.
“Modesto deserves great baseball, and I’m honored to help build that from day one. We’re going to play hard, play smart, and represent this city the right way,” said Snow in the announcement.
