Herald named BlueSox skipper
Cody Herald has been named the fourth manager of the Butler BlueSox, who open their ninth season May 30 at Kelly Automotive Park.
Herald, 24, was given the position during a meeting of the BlueSox ownership group Wednesday night. He succeeds Jason Radwan as skipper of the team. Radwan had planned to return for a third season as manager, but a recent work promotion does not permit him to commit the time.
“Jason had an opportunity to move into full-time work in his career field (youth counseling),” BlueSox part owner and spokesman William “Wink” Robinson said. “While the timing isn't great for us, three weeks before the season starts, we totally support that and wish him well.”
Herald is a Butler graduate and a former Golden Tornado basketball and baseball standout. He also played college baseball at Seton Hill University and spent two summers with the BlueSox as a player.
