An Interview with Mark Kotsay of the San Diego Padres

“Thirty-seven year-old Mark Kotsay has done nearly everything that can be done in baseball. At Cal State Fullerton his team won the College World Series, and he was named MVP. He then played on the USA’s bronze medal-winning squad at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. . . .

“One thing Kotsay has yet to accomplish is a World Series victory. He hopes that will change this season with the Padres, a team he returned to last season after playing for them 2001-2003. He believes that patience is a primary means through which a World Series victory would occur – and that patience enables us to achieve ‘a perfect work,’ according to the First Letter of St. James.”

The National Catholic Register recently published an interview with Mark Kotsay. Among the topics covered was the importance of his Catholic faith in his life, including the role of prayer and the sacraments in helping him develop the patience he needs in his baseball career and elsewhere.
