There are a lot more family and friends here than in my normal starts and I want to pitch well here. Tom Glavine

A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules. Talent is one thing. Being able to go from spring to October is another. You just got caught in a position where you have no position.
baseball simple player
Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success.
