ABC 6 Sports Anchor, Sean Tehan to Coach for the team this summer<\/em><\/p>\n

(Rochester, Minn.) \u2013 <\/strong>The Rochester Honkers have announced that Sean Tehan, ABC 6 News Sports Anchor, will be joining the team\u2019s coaching staff this summer.\u00a0 This will be Tehan\u2019s first attempt at coaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have Sean join our coaching staff for a weekend this summer,\u201d said Honkers Field Manager, Thomas Walker.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m expecting great things from him, including his strong ability to shag baseballs, move nets, and carry equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rochester Honkers brought this concept to ABC 6 News in an effort to give their fans an insider look at the game, from a coaching perspective.\u00a0 It will also give Tehan the ability to connect differently with the team and coaching staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will get live time on the field, I promise you that,\u201d added Walker.\u00a0 \u201cHe talks a lot, so he should fit in and be able to yell BACK clearly for our baserunners to hear.\u00a0\u00a0 As far as getting time on third base, that will be a game time decision depending on his learning curve, ability to communicate signs, and agility to avoid a foul ball.\u00a0 He is on TV for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Waukesha, Wisconsin native will join the Honkers Coaching staff June 1, and will go through June 3rd<\/sup>.\u00a0 He\u2019ll be able to coach one home game, when the Waterloo Bucks come to Mayo Field on Friday, June 1, and then get to travel to La Crosse, Wisconsin, for a two-game set versus the Loggers on Saturday, June 2, and Sunday, June 3rd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Tehan grew up in Wisconsin, and graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.\u00a0 He was heavily involved their on-campus television station and the Athletics Department, where he served as their Sports Director.\u00a0 He also did a play-by-play and color commentating, reporting, editing, and photography.\u00a0 For his efforts, he won a pair of Wisconsin Broadcaster\u2019s Association Awards.<\/p>\n

Tehan joined the ABC 6 News Sports Team in March of 2015.<\/p>\n

The Rochester Honkers 25th season begins on Tuesday, May 29th when the team hosts the Eau Claire Express in their home opener at Mayo Field at 7:05 pm. 5-Game Packs and Kids Club Memberships are available now!\u00a0 Season Tickets, \u00bd Season Plans, Suites and Patios are also available.
