"Macdonald, 38, deepened his love for the sport during the Pedro Martinez years. As for his playing career, he said he tore his ACL and "got really slow," which forced him to switch from middle infield to third base. He then pointed out his glasses and said he "had the Harry Potter thing going on" because he "couldn't see the dang ball.""
"Once the baseball dream died, he transitioned into coaching at Cedar Shoals High in Georgia, then worked his way up to the University of Georgia, the Baltimore Ravens, the University of Michigan, and Ravens again. Macdonald became the Seahawks' head coach in 2024. He's since compiled a 24-10 regular-season record and has now steered Seattle back to the Super Bowl."
