Everytime the topic of Managers wearing the uniform I envision Bob Knight in our 81 uniforms and Lou Holtz all padded up.

Francona did not wear a uniform after a heart procedure but I don't think that counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to a show about a week ago where they were talking about "obscure" MLB rules. The manager and all coaches must wear a players uniform now. Only exception is medical staff. Don't know when the rule went into effect, but Burt was the last guy to wear street clothes while managing a game...IIRC it was 1950. That time frame puts him managing Jackie Robinson.

I did not know anything about it until I saw it this morning on Sportscenter.

Evidently the Cards got out of the inning with only surrendering 1 run. The Cards lost the game but won the series. No mention of how it all transpired, but Reinhart never recorded an out.

milehiiu Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Gonna give you people the answer. Still.... a good trivia question. Who was the only Little League World Series player to hit a home run every time he had an official at bat ? Answer. Lloyd McClendon. From Gary, Indiana. Hit a homer in all official times at the plate. Came to the plate more often than that. But opposing coaches chose to intentionally walk him, rather than give up a homer. Lloyd McClendon remains a Little League 'Legend' | MLB.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 So I am watching the Oregon/Washington football game yesterday and a very interesting question is asked. It seems that UW is one of three FBS schools whose football stadium can be accessed by water. Can you name the other two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) So one more in the "2 grand slams in one game" column... One player who accomplished the feat... The first grand slam was the first of his career. The second was his last... He's the only player from his position to accomplish the feat... And, he eventually played for the Cincinnati Reds (although he wasn't when he hit the 2 Granny's in one game) Who was he?
