}} Michael Robert Coolbaugh (June 5, 1972 – July 22, 2007) was an American baseball player and coach. Born in Binghamton, New York, he was the brother of former major leaguer Scott Coolbaugh. Coolbaugh died after being hit by a line drive while working as a first-base coach in a minor league game. Playing careerCoolbaugh was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 16th round (433rd overall) of the {{Baseball year|1990}} Major League Baseball Draft.[1] Coolbaugh spent 11 seasons in the minor leagues. He broke the Southern League record for RBI in a season.[1] Coolbaugh never played for the Blue Jays, but was called up to the majors on July 15, {{Baseball year|2001}}, while playing for the Milwaukee Brewers Triple-A affiliate Indianapolis Indians.[1] He played third base with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2001 and the St. Louis Cardinals in {{Baseball year|2002}}. Coolbaugh made 44 career appearances, mainly at third base or as a pinch hitter, hitting .183. In 2004, he set a franchise record by hitting 30 home runs with the New Orleans Zephyrs (Houston Astros). In {{Baseball year|2005}}, Coolbaugh was with the Houston Astros farm system and while playing for the Astros' Triple-A affiliate, the Round Rock Express, had 27 home runs and 101 RBI.[2] The Astros were prepared to bring him up to the major leagues until he suffered a broken bone in his left hand during a Round Rock Express game.[2] In {{Baseball year|2006}}, he signed with the Kansas City Royals.[2] While in spring training, Coolbaugh shattered his left wrist, leading to his retirement as a player. CoachingFollowing his professional playing career, Coolbaugh turned to coaching. On July 3, {{Baseball year|2007}}, he was hired as first base coach for the Texas League's Tulsa Drillers, the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. DeathOn July 22, 2007, Coolbaugh was killed during the ninth inning of a game against the Arkansas Travelers in North Little Rock, Arkansas, when a line drive hit by Drillers catcher Tino Sanchez struck him in the neck while he was standing in the first base coach's box.[3][4] The impact pulverized Coolbaugh's left vertebral artery, which supplies significant parts of the brain with blood. The result, according to Pulaski County Coroner Mark Malcolm, was a severe brain hemorrhage that essentially killed Coolbaugh on impact.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}} Travelers general manager Pete Laven was among the first to reach Coolbaugh, along with Travelers team doctor James Bryan, team athletic trainer Brian Reinker and Gene France, a local doctor who was sitting near the first base dugout with his daughter and a family friend, both of whom are also physicians.[5] France watched as Bryan administered a "deep pain" maneuver, applying pressure to various areas of Coolbaugh's body, all with no response. CPR was administered to Coolbaugh on the field and he was breathing until the ambulance reached the hospital. Coolbaugh was pronounced dead at 9:47 p.m. CDT (0247 UTC, 23 July), less than an hour after being struck with the line drive.[6] The game, which the Travelers had been leading 7-3, was suspended.[7] The next day, Texas League president Tom Kayser declared the game would be considered a complete game.[8] The Drillers and Travelers both postponed their game scheduled the following night.[9][10] After clinching the National League Wild Card playoff berth during the 2007 Major League Baseball season, the Colorado Rockies announced that the players voted to award Coolbaugh's widow, Amanda, a full share of their playoff winnings.[11] Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said, "when I heard about what the players did, I almost cried." As the Rockies made it to the World Series, her share ended up being $233,505.18.[12] On November 8, 2007, MLB general managers decided that base coaches would wear helmets starting in the {{Baseball year|2008}} season.[13] Coolbaugh's life and death are the subject of a book by S. L. Price, titled "Heart of the Game: Life, Death, and Mercy in Minor League America" [14] LegacyIn his honor, the Texas League established the Mike Coolbaugh Memorial Coach of the Year Award in 2007 to honor the most outstanding hitting or pitching coach in the league. The first recipient was his brother, Scott Coolbaugh.[15] In 2008, Minor League Baseball (MiLB) began presenting the annual Mike Coolbaugh Award to someone who has "shown an outstanding baseball work ethic, knowledge of the game, and skill in mentoring young players on the field."[16] See also
