CHICAGO - The Chicago Cubs have hired former star Bill Buckner as a minor league hitting coach.
Buckner will be with the Boise Hawks of the short-season Class A Northwest League. The Cubs made the announcement Friday.
Buckner played for the Cubs from 1977-84 and won the 1980 NL batting title. He was a career .289 hitter over 22 seasons.
The 62-year-old Buckner was a manager last year for Brockton, a Massachusetts team in the independent CanAm league. He previously was a hitting coach for the Chicago White Sox and held the same position in the minors for Toronto.
