[edit] Biographical Information
Tim Corcoran's brother, Pat Corcoran, was an outfielder in the Oakland A's chain in 1976-1978. Tim Cocoran later was a scout for the Los Angeles Angels and was responsible for signing Tyler Chatwood and Roberto Lopez, among others.
He was nicknamed "Spring Training" for his uncanny ability to crush Grapefruit League pitching. Unfortunately, said ability largely disappeared when the regular season started, although he did have a few good seasons as a platoon player. His complete inability to hit left-handed pitching meant that he could not hold a regular job at the major league level, however.
