[edit] Biographical Information
Eddie Gerald was a minor league outfielder who reached as high as AA in the Minnesota Twins organization in 1993. He was a top high school player in St. Paul, MN in the late 1980s, but stalled in minor league baseball. After being released by the Twins, he played for a number of season in the independent leagues, including stints with notoriously bad road teams The Aces in 2004 and The Grays in 2005.
In 2008, he was named as interim manager of the Shreveport Sports, replacing Terry Bevington who was fired for pulling his team off the field in a fit of anger, thereby incuring a forfeit. The team was in a tailspin as Gerald stepped in, having lost 7 straight, and went on to lose 23 of 27 games under their interim manager.
