Jim Tracy

I watching the Cubs game on TV last night with my son Sean (age 8), and when Rockies manager Jim Tracy was shown in the dugout, Sean said: "He was on the Cubs!"

I just recently gave all of my old baseball cards to Sean, and sure enough, he had just seen this card of Jim Tracy. This is his 1982 Fleer card, though Tracy never played for the Cubs that year. He got 122 at bats in 1980, and 63 more in 1981 (all with the Cubs), and that was the full extent of his major league career.

But he is one of only 94 managers in MLB history that have managed in the big leagues for ten years or more.
