- Which baseball manager holds the record for most ejections (set in 2007)?
- In 1998, Barry Bonds became the fifth player to be given an Intentional Base On Balls with the bases loaded. Who was the opposing manager?
- Who was the last player-manager in Major League Baseball?
- The Texas Rangers had 4 managers in 1977, including one who lasted just one game. Can you name all four?
- Match the manager to the quote:
(a) Tommy Lasorda (1) "Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa." (b) Leo Durocher (2) "The key to winning baseball games is pitching, fundamentals, and three run homers." (c) Casey Stengel (3) "I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me; the umpires and the rules." (d) Earl Weaver (4) "He (Darryl Strawberry) is not a dog; a dog is loyal and runs after balls."
Bonus: Earl Weaver's profanity-laced "Manager's Corner". (Apparently, it was pre-taped and never aired.)
