There is no prototypical "Mike Scioscia guy." The USA Baseball manager figures he's attracted to the same types of players who would catch any skipper's eye. The kind who play hard, play with pride and bring a lot of talent to the table.
Those are the players Scioscia wants to bring with him to Tokyo next month, when he will try to guide the United States national baseball team to the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
"I don't know if I'm much different than any other manager," Scioscia told The Japan Times. "I think everybody is really drawn to those players that understand the game, play it right, have the talent to be able to go and do special things on the field."
