Coach John Kentera XX1090 Broadcaster-May 1st 2012

Coach John Kentera is a one of the best radio sports talk hosts in San Diego.  He has a memory for stats and events that few people on the radio can manage to duplicate.  He regularly hosts the Padres post game show with Randy Jones after each game at Lolita's Mexican restaurant. After Tuesday game, we went over to hear the broadcast and between commercial breaks, John talked to people who came over to hear the show.  I asked John who his favorite player was and why.  From the modern era, he was a big fan of Vladimir Guerrero, but his favorite all-time player was Reggie Jackson.  Coach loved his flamboyance and how he was a clutch player.  We chatted about baseball and he talked about going to the very first Padres game at San Diego Stadium when he was 10 years old and how Dick Selma got the win in a 2-1 game against the Houston Astros.   Later that night, Coach sent me a message mentioning some of his other favorites: Willie Mays, Fred Lynn, and Dave Parker.

Coach is a very nice guy and he let me take a picture with him.
