Quck Coaching Carosuel Quiz

[stevejrogers]

Putting the cart a bit in front of the horse, but if Mookie Wilson does join Terry Collins' staff, he will be the 8th Met coach with more than 1 coaching tenure.

Name the other 7.

Note 1) Roy McMillian and Mike Cubbage do not count as they were only interim skippers whom went back to their regular positions when Joe Frazier and Jeff Torborg made out their respective staffs the following seasons.

Note 2) Two of the 7 have made 3 separate tenures as Met coaches.

Dallas Green?

[stevejrogers]

Dallas was only a big league skipper and pitcher for the Mets.

Ah yes, simpler times. When Charles Dolan's empire consisted of just a wannabe local ESPN outlet out of Long Island.

How bad was Buddy on the mike? They also made Rusty Staub a player-coach that year as well.

[Guest Kong76]

Bud was ok, but I was a huge Harrelson fan and didn't look at
announcers like I do nowadays. Be interested to see what others
remember of him on the tube.

[Guest Kong76]

I just cheated and looked up the answers in a media guide. I
never would have gotten the other three-timer.

Hints
Last three tour guy did it over a span of 12 seasons, only 3 of them he was not a coach with the big club

Another technically should be considered a three tour of duty guy, but he was reinstated the next season after being fired mid-way through a season, so the media guide lists him as having one continuous tour.

Not much to say hint wise about the last one, but he has been a lifer in the Met organization for over 20 years and served for one season each with two different skippers.
