Episode 31 - AL-NL Central Coaches
09/03/19 • 61 min
Week 2 of the critically acclaimed “Before They were Coaches” series. This week we take a look at the career stats of the managers and coaches of the AL& NL Central teams. Who had the most success on the field before hanging them up? Did that success follow them to the dugout? Did somebody ask about triple plays? Irrelevant, we have more triple play factoids than Brett Gardner has temper tantrums. And we set the way back machine to 1992 for this week’s Wax Pack Heroes.

Episode 30 - AL-NL Coaches Playing Stats
Before they were setting lineups and challenging plays from the dugout, managers and coaches (almost) all played the game. This week we take a look at the career stats of the managers and coaches of the AL& NL west teams. Who had success on the field before hanging them up? Did that success follow them to the dugout? Also, what former major leaguers relished in shaving Mark’s head after a bet? And Player’s Weekend? Can we not do it in uniforms that everybody hates next time? Plus a game changer in this week’s Wax Pack Heroes.
