• Mike Shildt


• Brian Snitker

I've no idea but, maybe they all played for the same minor league team at one point in their careers?



Same minor league team

You're at least modestly warm. You're certainly not as cold as you might otherwise be.



But what we're looking for isn't as obscure as all that.

They all smoke(d) cigarettes?

[MFS62]

1) none of them played in the majors.

2) I haven't the foggiest idea. (something I would write if I didn't know the final Jeopardy question)



Later

Number one is the first of the two items we are looking for. All of these guys became MLB managers despite never playing MLB ball.

all of them won manager of the year(?)

[Edgy MD]

That is correct (though you should answer with more confidence!). Brandon Hyde of the Orioles joined the club yesterday, winning 2023 AL Manager of the Year.



Skip Schumaker of the Marlins is your National League winner.

That's a damn fine trivia question

[Edgy MD]

I offered it to a damn fine forum.
