	Short stint for old Rudy York.

	wakanooga:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 18:09 GMT	2 points
	Good, tough quiz. I like it.

	notaratface:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 20:49 GMT	2 points
	I don't think the win-loss record helps much as a hint, but I found it interesting to see that most of these guys had losing records. And to the one who was able to name all 40 (it wasn't me), no matter how you did it, I am truly impressed!

	theillest2000:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 20:56 GMT	3 points
	No bonus answer for #$%& Ozzie Guillen?

	Brett11:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 01:18 GMT	2 points
	Would have thought most of these guys would rather be hitting coaches.

	mflournoy:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 02:33 GMT	4 points
	Many (perhaps most) of them were hitting coaches before becoming managers. Managers get paid more.

	Well done quiz. Challenging and fun. Nice job.

	mwb1002:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 03:41 GMT	2 points
	hopefully soon Sandberg's name will have to be added to this list. should already be here except the dumba**'s hired Quade instead!

	If you're counting one game for Rudy York, how come Ken Griffey, Sr. doesn't come up for various managers he has filled in for while they were serving a suspension?

	notaratface:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 11:47 GMT	3 points
	Baseball-Reference.com is the one doing the counting, and I think most would agree that they're a pretty good source. They list Rudy York as manager for that one game, and Ken Griffey is listed as manager for none. MLB.com also credits York with one game managed, and none for Griffey. If Griffey filled in for an ejected, or suspended, manager, he would then only have been considered an 'acting manager' as opposed to an 'interim manager', and as such, would not have gotten official recognition. Rudy York was named interim manager of his team, the Red Sox, for the period between Pinky Higgins' dismissal and Billy Jurges' hiring, sometime during the 1959 season.

	Awesome quiz!

	johnlk:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 21:12 GMT	1 point
	Bill Terry hit 154 home runs. Surely he should be a bonus answer?

	notaratface:	Aug 2nd, 2011 at 00:09 GMT	1 point
	@johnlk: Once I stopped compiling the top 40, I added as bonus answers the names of those others I thought would be most frequently guessed, not necessarily the ones who rank immediately below the top 40. I should have considered Bill Terry from the get-go, but I didn't, shame on me. He's been added, along with another couple of old-timers, to make it an even 30 bonus 'wrong' answers. Thanks.

	Bucky Dent: 40 career home runs, including a notable that gave him the nickname "Bucky F***ing Dent." 36-53 in 1989 and 1990 as the Yankees Manager.

	jeremypac:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 00:12 GMT	2 points
	I got 8 correct and 8 bonus answers

	Nolij:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 09:14 GMT	1 point
	Lou Boudreau should probably be added as a bonus as well.

	notaratface:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 10:42 GMT	1 point
	Okay.

	ileggin:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 14:26 GMT	2 points
	WAY harder than it looks. Good one.

	dslaw:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 20:50 GMT	2 points
	Much harder than I thought it would be. Then I see the answers and say "I knew that" to almost everyone I missed. I guess most quizzes are easy once you know the answers.
