Going way off track here: But to be fair to Ted, he managed the worst team in the majors, the Senators (second version). Nevertheless, he managed the Senators to their ONLY winning record during their entire stay in Washington in 1969.
He also, while retired and managing, put on the greatest pre-game hitting clinic Ron Luciano ever saw (according to one of Luciano's books).
O.k. I'm done with this sidetrack.
