Question #137

Phil Niekro and Gaylord Perry has very similar careers and stats....same timeframe. Both HOF...but both also had very successful MLB pitching brothers and their careers were also very statistically similar.....so I did a little math and combined each set of brothers totals....fill in correct last name (Niekro or Perry)

Well, I started guessing, to myself, all the managers in the HOF that I knew were players from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. But I peeked at their stats and came up with nothing. It has to be a manager from way back in the day.

That question was a bomb....aimed at O-trap lol. The answer is Rabbit Maranville who actually did manage the Cubs in 1925
