Back to the Futures

[Edgy MD]

Your managers for the Futures Game at CitiField, MLB champion New York Met William Hayward "Mookie" Wilson running the US squad and NL champion New York Met Edgardo Antonio "Fonzie" Alfonzo skippering the world squad.

Mets will be represented by two dudes they hope to soon see joining Matt Harvey and Dan Wheeler in the big league rotation: Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero. The two are kind of following each other up the chain with Syndergaard promoted to Binghamton shortly after Montero was elevated to Las Vegas... itself a promotion necessitated in part by the progression of Wheeler from the PCL to the Mets.

It may be a standard part of the font package. Lower-case letters rendered as small caps without the spike in the middle.

I thought it was the subtly emphasize the ASG part. but who knows.

Halfway looking forward to this. And then I get a softball game right after? neat.

[Edgy MD]

Has it become standard practice to have the managers come from the pantheon of the hosting team?

Have any Futures Game managers ever become big league skippers?
