Baseball has certain philosophical sayings that would be quite appropriate echoing from the mouths of the great Greek philosophers if baseball was a duel between their city states. One certainly applied to the cross-hairs (I am not PC) of managers to wit: “Managers are hired to be fired.” In Boston Red Sox tradition the hue and cry for a managerial head becomes part of the dynamics of a season and this season is no different.
Managers life expectancy on the big stage can be a handful of games or like Connie Mack, who lasted 53 seasons, with a caveat that old Cornelius owned the A’s for most of the 50 years he was at the helm.
