    I've no idea but, maybe they all played for the same minor league team at one point in their careers?

    You're at least modestly warm. You're certainly not as cold as you might otherwise be.



    But what we're looking for isn't as obscure as all that.

    1) none of them played in the majors.

    2) I haven't the foggiest idea. (something I would write if I didn't know the final Jeopardy question)

    Number one is the first of the two items we are looking for. All of these guys became MLB managers despite never playing MLB ball.

    Re: Managers

    That is correct (though you should answer with more confidence!). Brandon Hyde of the Orioles joined the club yesterday, winning 2023 AL Manager of the Year.



    Skip Schumaker of the Marlins is your National League winner.
