Marc Techman served as Auburn Astros hometown trainer

Marc Techman looked ahead to a career in baseball in 1990 - just as soon as he completed college.

In the meantime, he worked in baseball, for his hometown Auburn Astros. Techman worked for Auburn that summer as an executive assistant.

Techman's career in baseball, however, appears to have been brief, ending the next year as he appears to have moved on to other pursuits.

Techman started with Auburn in 1988, according to his Best card, holding the positions of clubhouse manager and head groundskeeper.

As he worked, he also attended school. Techman went to the University of Buffalo, majoring in statistics.

"After graduation, hopes to have a career in Baseball Administration," Techman's Best card reads.

His Best card also lists his hobbies as bowling, golf, racquetball and running.

Techman moved on in 1991 to serve as the team's assistant general manager, but he served in that role for the single season before Techman moved on.
