A couple of spring trainings ago, Keith Hernandez taught a class for Cornell Adult University in Port St. Lucie.
Apparently it went well, because the university invited him to teach a class on the history and culture of baseball after last season, his wife, Kai, Class of '86, told me.
"They wanted him to come up and give a couple of lectures on broadcasting and baseball,'' she said.
Said Keith: "I was so tired at the end of the season we called and gave them plenty of notice and bailed."
What did he talk about in those Port St. Lucie sessions?
"The first was about my baseball experience, historically the ins and outs of being a professional ballplayer,'' he said, "and the second was about the transition to the media. It was fun."
