On Monday, Don Mattingly was named the new manager of the Marlins. He’s the…11th? full-time manager in team history, and will be the 15th man to manage the team at all (which includes a pair of one-game interim managers, Brandon Hyde and Cookie Rojas). If that seems like a lot for a team that has only been in existence since 1993, it is. Mattingly’s old team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, have only had six full-time managers and one interim manager since Tommy Lasorda retired midway through the 1996 season. Prior to that, Lasorda and Walter Alston were the team’s only two managers from 1954 to 1995.
