Early life [edit]
A graduate of Indiana University,[1] Tuck has 23 years of professional coaching experience. He started his baseball career as a catcher for the Montreal Expos organization and played for them during three minor league seasons. Following his playing retirement, he served as an assistant coach at the University of Notre Dame in 1980, and Arizona State University in 1981.
Minor and Major League Career [edit]
After winning an NCAA championship with Arizona State, Tuck was hired to coach for the nearby Tucson Toros, a Minor League affiliate of the Houston Astros. Tuck spent eight years in the Astros organization. In 1986 he managed the Double-A Columbus Astros to a league championship,[2] winning Southern League Manager of the Year honors.
By 1989, Tuck was a coach on the New York Yankees Triple-A team, the Columbus Clippers.[3] In 1990, Tuck served as bullpen coach to the Yankees. The next year he was the manager of the Cleveland Indians Single-A team, a job he held before switching to a Scout for the Indians.
He would rejoin the Yankees again in 1996 as their Single-A Manager. With the Yankees, Tuck won World Series rings as the team catching instructor in 1998 and 1999.[4] In 2006, he served as former major league catcher Joe Girardi's bench coach in Florida, where he was best known for writing the lineup card in calligraphy [1].
In November 2006, the Boston Red Sox hired Tuck as their new bullpen coach.[5] He joined pitching coach John Farrell and hitting coach Dave Magadan as new members of the Red Sox coaching staff for the 2007 season. He earned another World Series ring as a member of Boston's 2007 championship team. Tuck also served as an organization-wide catching instructor during spring training.[6] On January 29, 2013, he notified the Red Sox he intends to retire effective immediately.[7]
