Wednesday, September 30, 2009Varsity LettersHey, if you're in New York, I highly recommend you drop by Gelf's Varsity Letters reading festival. It will be held at JLA Studios in Brooklyn at 7:30 Thursday night, and guests will include Larry Tye (I reviewed his book on Satchel Paige a while ago) and baseball blogging superstar Joe Posnanski, among others. Admission is free, so check it out if you have a chance. Those Gelf guys are a hoot. Phillies activate Romero; Should he be closer?On the 28th of September, the Phillies activated J.C. Romero from the 15-day disabled list. Click for more... Man vs. Food in ballparksI usually ignore press releases, but there's a TV show tonight that sounds like it might be fun. Man vs. Food travels to three minor league ballparks to gulp down their well-known food. I like the fact that they focused on minor league parks instead of the bigs (obviously, not a live show!) and that he will take on some of America's best, such as a hamburger served between two donuts. Man vs. Food is on the Travel Channel. And I think I get a free t-shirt for telling you about it. Most recent mid-season managerial change for all 30 teamsWord is, the perpetually underachieving Indians just canned their manager, Eric Wedge. Question: When was the most recent managerial change for all 30 teams. Before checking the list can you guess which team has gone the longest without doing it? Longest in the other league? Well, here they are, bunched by fives for convenience sake. I look at games managed for tiebreakers when multiple teams appear in the same season: 2009 CLE 2009 HOU 2009 DCN 2009 COL 2009 ARI 2008 MIL 2008 TOR 2008 SEA 2008 NYM 2007 CIN 2007 BAL 2005 KCR 2005 PIT 2004 PHI 2003 FLA 2002 CHC 2002 DET 2001 BOX 2001 TEX 2001 TBD 1999 ANA 1998 LAD 1995 STL 1995 CWS 1992 SDP 1990 ATL 1990 NYY* 1986 MIN 1986 OAK 1985 SFG I would've bet anything Minnesota would come out on top, but no. I put an asterick by the Yanks because while B-ref lists it as the same guy for every season, I think Zim officially manged them for a month when Joe Torre had a health problem. It's not an official managerial change, but it was a midseason change nonetheless. (Heck, B-ref notes Pete Rose's month-long ump-bump suspension in its managerial record). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
