[edit] Biographical Information
Bryan Little was born at the wrong time. In the major leagues, he was a frequent bunter, and would have been more valuable 100 years earlier. He had little power, and while his best slugging percentage (.340) beat Julio Cruz on the 1985 Chicago White Sox, it did not beat Ozzie Guillen the regular shortstop who slugged .358 that year.
He is the brother of Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Grady Little.
After retiring, Little managed the Waterloo Diamonds in 1990-1991 and the High Desert Mavericks in 1992 in the San Diego Padres organization. He was then a roving minor league instructor in the Chicago White Sox chain from 1993 to 1997. He was the first base coach for the White Sox from 1997 to 2000 and has been the White Sox' Major League Advance Scout/Special Instructor since 2001.
