After his awesome career ended a couple of years earlier, Pinson was one of the first coaches for the expansion Seattle Mariners beginning in 1977.
If you look at the Mariners 1977 team card you see him listed as such on the front with other coaches and the first manager in organization history Darrell Johnson.
He would remain a coach in the Majors until the 1994 season before sadly suffering a stroke and passing away at the young age of 57.
For those that are not too familiar with Pinson’s career, take a gander at what he did on the field, INCREDIBLY underrated!
The man had both speed and power, consistently produced over a long career, and was highly respected by so many of his peers.
Put him in the Hall already!
