Law Coach Takes on New Project - and MaxPreps Widget

In some baseball circles, Dennis Sweeney is known as one of the guys at Seton Hall University who in 1990 replaced legendary first baseman and slugger Maurice “Mo” Vaughn, who had just been drafted by the Boston Red Sox.

But Sweeney was actually drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 1991 as a pitcher after spending much of his collegiate career as a right fielder. He later began a teaching and coaching career at Jonathan Law High School in Milford, Conn., a career that culminated last spring in a CIAC Class L baseball championship.

Sweeney is now involved in a new project with a number of former professional players, a web site that will serve as a baseball resource and teaching tool of the highest order. The accomplished participants in this project seek to share their time and knowledge to provide a wealth of baseball information and to promote the sport by encouraging player development and enhancing the overall experience.

The test site for Fundamentals Plus is here:

In the meantime, Sweeney’s Law baseball team is preparing for its state title defense with a new MaxPreps.com widget on its web site, one that the coach created to include all teams on his 2009 schedule:
