Do a quick search of Sacred Heart’s athletic department, and you’ll find a familiar name at the head of it.
Bobby Valentine.
Yes, that Bobby Valentine, the longtime MLB manager of the New York Mets, Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox.
Valentine was fired by the Red Sox after just one season in Boston, in October of 2012, and was quietly hired as Sacred Heart’s athletic director just four months after he was let go.
He doesn’t have any noticeable connection to Sacred Heart, but Valentine does live in Stamford, Connecticut, which isn’t far from the campus in Fairfield.
