I had taken over a team where Casey Stengel was the manager and he wrote a story about Stengel's job being on the line. I wrote a rebuttal that Stengel said he wasn't worried about his job because he hadn't yet made the mistake of being 70.

My current GM (Anne Bonny) is the result of a ruling by that commissioner. The manager was just for show, a name for his articles, and I wanted Jose Gasper to manage the Treasure Island Pirates. He said no, had to be a real manager from the era being played.

So with the idea the Pirates should be run by a real pirate I have Anne Bonny now.
Hahahaha - is Edward Teach your Bench Coach?

Those interviews will be a regular GotW feature, either with managers or players. I was going to do a magazine feature but in the end my lack of skills in that department made it too time-consuming what with all of my various leagues on the go (there's another one in the works - I'm a glutton for punishment!)

Glad you're enjoying it bud, thanks for the feedback.
