Lee s Mark Brew Gets 600th Win, Goes After 700 Saturday, April 24, 2021 - by George Starr
It is no secret why Lee University head baseball coach Mark Brew has stepped in and continued to win games year after year after replacing his mentor and former Lee head coach David Altopp 16 years ago. During Altopp’s final five seasons the Flames won over 40 games each year, including a 55-win season in 2005, when Lee earned a berth in the NAIA College World Series for the first time. Altopp and Brew have a long history together. During his playing days, Brew had a successful four-year career at Trevecca Nazarene University under Coach Altopp. In 1990, Brew was the top hitter for the Trevecca baseball team. He was also the closer for the Trojans for four years.

I want you to try something.
Extend your arm out until your elbow is straight, and hold your thumb and index finger about four inches apart. That’s a little wider than a credit card. A little less than half the width of a piece of notebook paper. Got it? Cool.
Now read this.
Now look back at your fingers.
Now imagine building up to his moment for fifteen years. The thousands of practice routines. The injuries. The gigantic bruises. The unimaginably large blisters (referred to quaintly as “rips,” but which, man, you do not want to Google Image Search that) that every bar worker suffers. The frustration of learning new skills, each of which seems physically impossible until it is mastered, at which time your reward is trying to add another half-twist. The pain and heartbreak of the uncountable falls that inevitably accompany a sport seemingly designed by someone unfamiliar with the normal mechanics of the human body.
