FROM EXPRESS TIMES


Jim Lutz recalled his Nazareth midget baseball coach in the 1950s driving past his home on the weekend and asking him if he threw a ball that day.
The motivation instilled in him to succeed by Bill Gold remained with him into adulthood, he said.
"He was a coach seven days a week," Lutz said, noting Gold was barely out of high school when he started mentoring. "He was the kind of guy you worked as hard as you could for because that's what he expected of you."
