"Playing for Coach Pyne almost killed my love for the game of baseball. He makes it clear that a certain portion of players on the team mean nothing to him, unless there is a possibility of receiving donations from that player or their family. As long as he is the leader if the program, I feel ashamed to be associated with Amherst College Baseball"
