Mr. Don Cooper played parts of two seasons for the Twins in the early 1980s. While he had an ordinary pitching career with the Twins, he made a bigger mark later as a coach for one of the Twins’ most fierce rivals.
Cooper was not only the pitching coach for four different White Sox skippers, but he actually became the manager himself for a short time at the end of the 2011 season when Ozzie Guillen was let go.
