| This is a hard quiz even for an attentive baseball fan.
It has to be said - the hiring and firing of managers in MLB is a tradition, a kind of a con game. These men almost never make any difference at all in the performance of their teams, for good or for bad. Joe Torre goes from being a bust to being a legend, coincidentally at the moment he gets good players. Leyland occasionally forgets how to manage - always, coincidentally, at the times where he has bad players. Piniella, likewise. And on, and on, and on.
A baseball manager has about as much to do with the team's performance as the royals have to do with the UK's performance. Just a bunch of retired jocks collecting paychecks they don't deserve. |
