Congratulations text messages once started discussing in the word that Winnie Ebean had two wins from Edison’s winning coach as a baseball coach.
Their response was to thank you, but I would reflect later – after all, it is a baseball season and a pitching staff and to navigate through some injuries and find the right lineup.
“In fact, to be honest with you, I am not really sitting and thought about it because we started this season 0–2,” Abin said in the first week. “Win number one (Saturday) was the most important win for me and it was the first win of this year. 300, this is something I think I will sit back at some point after the season and look back in some past and look back in the past and in the last 20 years the things we have done here in Edison and perhaps, yes, pride in it.”
Said like a true coach – players come first.
“It is humble, but it is also a bit embarrassing because you do not coach high school games for personal praise, this is definitely,” Abin said. “So I am humble by it, but I just want to get it and get it through it and take it forward.”
Sorry coach, it is a stagnation time. On Thursday, Edison defeated Monroe 3–1, so that the Ebean could be given 300–254 records in 23 seasons as eagles skippers. Yes, victory is good, but there are other reasons for coaching.
“You are trying to change the lives of young men,” said Abin. “You are trying to create a program and just make the game a little fun for children. The focus is never about how much I can win because I worry about children who are now in the program.
“They are not going back to see and say, ‘Oh man, coach, I can’t believe you win 20 games in 2005.’ They cannot worry about this.
Former players, however, care about red and gold and have a connection for the first decades. Edison has a tight community on the south side and extends to diamonds. The baseball generations pass from generations to generations wearing the same jersey with brothers, nephews, cousins.
Links are expanded to the legendary coach Jim Muldown, who died at the age of 68 in May. He complied with a record of 275–75 in 13 sessions, consisting of two group titles. Muldown, who became athletic director, hired Abbean before the 2002 season and Abbean said he could not say to a better patron.
Alumni Rob Roma and Brian Epelman have been on Abin’s employees for more than 20 years and credited them as a large part for the success of the program. Roma’s son Robert is a junior star and Bryan’s son Jackson graduated in the last season after acting for Edison.
“I don’t have 300 wins, because of me, trust me,” said Abin. “I have some very good players, obviously, all over the years. Believe me, I will give them all the credit. I don’t play the game. When it comes down, these are the people who go there and throw, hits and catch, they are the people who are really I am now where I am, where I am now.”
Then, he appreciated for supporting all the rear scenes such as school administrators, principals and athletic directors, who allowed him to run the program. And, of course, his family.
He said, “You should have a strong family behind you that puts with those long days and long hours, you know, coming into cold rain and sports,” he said. “So my whole family, especially my parents but more than my father. I have probably given coaching in around 550 games and I bet that your father is probably 500 of them.
“He prepared me to make it. If we lose a game, he is the first person to call me after a game and talk about what we could do or what we should have done. He has definitely had a major impact in my coaching career. When I was 5 years old in my coaching career. When I was 5 years old, I gave me coaching and now he is going out of coach to these high school children.”
Abin has approved the program. The unique area of witness Edison with red turf opened in summer in 2020.
“We love the red region,” said Abin. “This is unique to us. I like the fact that other people like it, hate it. So when someone comes here and they feel that it is ugly and they hate it, I feel good about it. I say about it. I say, ‘Well, I don’t want you to like your territory.’ This gives us the benefit of home field.
Abin, who went to Colonia, has adopted the Edison tradition and said, “It is like an honor for living in the same school for so many years.”
Now those additional texts, emails and calls will definitely be flooded with Thursday’s victory. He will thank you but …
“I was worried about winning a game at a time this year,” said Abin. “We got a young team. We are having some injuries. We are getting some diseases. We went to the Red Division, so we got a lot in our mind.”
He said, “As I said, it is definitely an honor, but … it is going to be something to enjoy after the year.”
Eventually, the baseball season is just starting and it’s time to play the ball.
