Baseball Player

The Resume

    (November 23, 1930- )
    Manager for Kansas City Royals (1973-75), Oakland Athletics (1977-78), San Diego Padres (1988-90), Cincinnati Reds (1997-2000) and Florida Marlins (2003- )
    Named NL Manager of the Year (1999. 2003)

Why he might be annoying:

    He once fired blanks at a player who ran through a stop sign at third base.
    His nickname, 'Trader Jack,' was brought on by his many trades and free agency signing as the San Diego Padres' General Manager.
    He left teaching his grandchildren how to play baseball in South Carolina to take the job as Florida Marlins manager (2003).
    He smokes cigars.
    If allowed, he'd probably smoke in the dugout during games.
    The Marlins were accused of not following minority-hiring guidelines when they hired Jack a day after firing Jeff Torborg.

Why he might not be annoying:

    The first baseball game he ever went to was a New York Yankees game.
    At 72, he's been described as having as much fire in his eyes as his twenty year old players.
    He lead a struggling Florida Marlins team to the World Series.
    Many of his current and former players would bend over backwards for him.
    He said he would return as the Florida Marlins manager in 2004 so he could manage in the All-Star game.
    With the exception of his tenure with the Athletics, all his teams have had winning records.
    His favorite baseball movie is 'The Pride of the Yankees.'
