Okay, I'll bite.

Why was he a "quitter".

So that's what the red highlight does

Yea, okay. Your diary is a little complicated for me. However, I get the gist of it.

I still have to vote for Langston.

An interesting side note is that langston threw left and batted right.

are you disparaging #12?

seems to me the best # so far in this series.

i liked Rader as a manager but he made the fatal mistake in getting Dave Parker; we were very close to a playoff team when he managed, and if Parker would have hit, we would have been. and if you aren't familiar with his 'exploits' in "Ball Four", well, you should be.

Billy Moran was an All Star for us in '62 - maybe should have gotten more consideration as a Top 100.

Remy v. Moran

Just comparing Jerry Remy's 3 seasons with us (#75 Top 100) compared to Moran's 3+ seasons with us, i'd rather have Moran.

Good call

on Moran AND Rader.

I think Rader might be my favorite all-time Angel manager.

Moran and Rader

While loooking at Baseball Reference at Moran, one of his comparable players was Rob Wilfong, who was with us for a comparable time too (4+ years) and who also did not make the Top 100 here.

I liked Remy too and have favorable memories of him, but are we all guilty as overrating him when it comes to Halo 2B'ers? I started to look for Matt Welch's Halo 2B analysis but ....(dude, with all the writing you do, you need a search function!)

And re: Rader and Ball Four - some one who has a copy should post his appearance in the book - he certainly knew how to put the icing on the cake. as an early teen, his frosting i thought was one of the funnieest parts of a great book.
