WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers
Several days ago, former manager Jim Leyland decided that he would not wear any team cap when he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer. The other 3 inductees, Andrian Beltre, Joe Mauer and Todd Helton will be wearing Rangers, Twins and Rockies caps respectively.
Leyland joins Tony LaRussa as the only other manager inducted not to have a team logo on his cap. Sparky Anderson went into the Hall wearing a Reds cap despite being fired by them and spending almost twice as much time managing the Tigers.
Leyland managed 4 teams:
Pirates – 11 years w/only 4 seasons above .500
Marlins – 2 years w/a World Series Championship
Rockies – 1 year
Tigers – 8 years w/2 AL Pennants
What do you think of his decision?
What do you think of Jim Leyland's decision?
1. Understandable given his career.
2. He should have picked a team.
3. Disappointed in his decision.
