Why Baseball Managers Are Important

Many people say that a MLB manager is the least important of the coaches in professional sports. I personally don't agree with that statement. That is why in this post I will examine the intracies of the Major League manager.
First off, and most important is the usage of players. If you use a player too much that player could become fatigued, and therfore hurt your ball club. If a manager brings in the wrong pitcher from the bullpen, and that player gives up the game its the managers fault. If a manager puts a starting pitcher in the bullpen it can mess up the comrodery of the pitching staff as well.
Team chemistry is also very important. If a manager doesn't manager, and treat the players the way they think they should be treated, the players will lose respect for the coach. If you lose respect for your coach you are losing faith in your team. If they loses faith in the team it causes a division in the clubhouse. That can happen on the best, and the worst of teams, at any time. That is why one little mistake can devistate a managers tenure.
On the flip side, baseball is the easiest place for a manager to fake being a good coach. Take the Yankees for instince. In his early days Joe Torre would be caught sleeping on tv. The only reason he didn't get fired was that since he was the Yankees coach, he had terrific assistant coaches to run the team.

Joe Finally Made it All The Way Home

Joe Nuxhall was the greatest man to ever put on a Reds uniform. He took the field with pride, and understood the significance of his actions. He took responsibility both on the field and off. Unlike today's baseball player, he took time out of his life to help those less fortunite. You didn't have to know Joe Nuxhall. If you walked up to him at the supermarket he would say hi. Off the field he considered himself just another Reds fan. Why is it that today, we have come to expect less out of our public figures?
Joe Nuxhall was not a man to bask in any glory. Yes, he was the youngest player in MLB history. He did something that nobody will probably ever do again, he started a professional baseball game at fifteen years old. He took the field as a man, and left it a legend. He never let his status get to him, which is what made him so unique. Never again will such a man grace this earth.
Joe Nuxhall gave us Reds fans hope. When we didn't have the best team on the field, we could still turn on Joe. He would tell it like it is, not following the chain of broadcasters that would tell you what the team wanted to tell you. He was proof that no matter who you were, you are no better than anybody else. He gave us hope for better days, and a better life. That is why he was so special.
Joe will forever be a fixture in our hearts. He shares commen bonds with all baseball fans, and the public in general.. He shares in our love for the game. Joe is a man who is unreplacable. Thank you Joe, for all that you have done for us. Thank you from that bottom of my, and every other Reds fan's hearts. We will never forget you.
