Cardboard Flashback Pat Corrales

Nothing was worse opening up a pack of cards when you are younger and getting a Manager card, except when it was Cleveland Indians legend Pat Corrales. His well kept feathered mane had the look of a hair club for men client. This salt and pepper-follicled skipper compiled a 280-355 record over 4 season in a Tribe uniform. The team peeked under his tutelage in 1986 with a fifth place showing.

Senor Patrico did have a successful career as a bench manager for Bobby Cox for 9 years and now is right hand man of the Washington Nationals. When I get ticked off at Eric Wedge for keeping relievers in his bullpen that haven't pitched in two weeks or being frustrated that he often plays a chubby, golden-mulleted crappy 4th outfielder, I remember that we had this guy as our manager and feel a little bit better about management.
