END OF AN ERA
Cheshire baseball coach Mike Lussier steps aside By Sean Krofssik Record-Journal staff
Mike Lussier spent a good chunk of his life in the Cheshire baseball program and, after stepping down as head coach recently, he reflected on his career. “I’ve always lived my life that family is first, and I’m looking to spend more time with my family,” Lussier said. “I’ve been here since 1998. This is for the better. I left them in a good place and I hope they fill the job quickly. I will still be around if they need me for anything.” A 1983 Cheshire High grad, Lussier served more than 25 years as a coach in the Rams program. He was an assistant for 21 years, first under Burt Leventhal and then under Bill Mrowka. Lussier spent the last four years as head coach following Mrowka’s retirement. Mrowka and Lussier were teammates in their Cheshire High School days and played for Leventhal.
