Greg Colbrunn happy to be back at home with Charleston RiverDogs - Charleston Post Courier
It was an early June afternoon last summer and the Red Sox were getting ready for their game later that night against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. Colbrunn had just gotten out of the shower and was headed down to the hotel’s lobby when he felt like someone had “kicked” him in the back of his head. Colbrunn reached the lobby feeling disoriented and took a cab with a team trainer to Progressive Field. He remembers getting to the Red Sox locker room and putting on his uniform. His next memory is waking up in a hospital room at the Cleveland Clinic 2½ days later. Colbrunn, who returned to the Lowcountry this spring as the Charleston RiverDogs hitting coach after two seasons with the Red Sox, suffered a brain hemorrhage that June afternoon. “I remember getting in the cab and getting to the field and going into the locker room,” said Colbrunn, who was with the RiverDogs for six seasons from 2007-2012 as a hitting coach and manager. Colbrunn, 46, spent two weeks at the Cleveland Clinic before returning to his Mount Pleasant home. He spent two more weeks at home, watching Red Sox games on television, offering tips and advice from his living room couch to players and coaches back in Boston. Source: www.postandcourier.com
