Indians Trivia, May 16 2008

Can you name the two Indians managers with over 700 wins with the franchise?

 

(I have the 2008 Cleveland Indians desktop calendar, and thought I would post the trivia and/or fact of the day each weekday here on Let's Go Tribe. Ultimately, these would qualify more as FanShots than as FanPosts, but there's no appropriate format (Quote, Link, Image, etc.) for this type of post. I will keep this little 'disclaimer' on all posts so they are at least 75 freakin' words long.)

Grover is one.

I tried to make Paul Reuschel my Avatar, but he didn't fit into the box.

Hargrove and Boudreau?

Bingo.

Mike Garcia never managed. Dave Garcia, on the other hand, managed the Indians to a rare .503 winning percentage (247-244) in the late 70s, early 80s.

Sorry, wrong Garcia

I figured it was either Boudreau or Speaker…or maybe Lajoie, but most likely Boudreau. He was the Grover of the 40’s after all!

how the heck did Garcia end up with a winning record … those teams were pretty bad.

I think it’s a fun idea, but let’s find a way to put it with the FanShots.

I think either the quote or chat types will work well enough. I suggest the quote.

Just tried the chat version – it works fairly well.

okay, I’ll do that for all future ones. Thanks.

wow you run a tight ship around here

a little rude though

you have all these rules, but no ban on LoLcats?

In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.
