Good morning!
This week, Will Venable procured Manager of the Year Award from the Sporting News: as Jim wrote on Thursday, it bodes well more often than not that he'll also finish with that same BBWAA award. Going from 60 to 84 wins while also making the playoffs (and winning a round!) will do that to a fella!
Today's Sporcle asks you to name managers beyond Venable: how many can you name throughout franchise history who managed at least 50 games for the team? In all that’s 37 entries: how many can you name? Good luck!
