Inspired by my own ignorance of there being a new manager in Miami, let's play "Name the Marlins Managers" I will gibe you the years served you make the guesses. No double dipping or cheating. some answers may require you guess by number. *-are interim guys with very short tenures.

1, 1993-66
2. 1996*
3. 1996
4. 1997-98
5. 1999-01
6. 2001
7. 2002-03
8. 2003-05
9. 2006
10. 2007-10
11. 2010-11
12. 2011*
13. 2011
14. 2012
15. 2013-15
16. 2015
17. 2016-22
18. 2023-24

Jack McKeon

which number answer is McKeon

5?

wrong. get back in line

7?

ok

I edited my post above. I can name a lot of the managers, but probably not the actual number.

I'm only asking in this case because McKeon (and one other Marlins manager) had non-consecutive tenures as Marlins managers.

So far you've missed McKeon twice

#8? If it was, then it was later than I thought.

Mattingly was 17. I associate his tenure with the awful Jeterification of the franchise --- that is the aesthetic and philistine ruination of the stadium and disappearing the art deco neon uniforms and outfield pop art sculpture.

The Marlins executed a brilliant and beautiful rebranding in 2012 and that fucking Jeter destroyed it to put his own bland vanilla face on the franchise.

Rene Lachemann, No. 1

I wouldn't have guessed this but Mattingly managed almost twice as many games as any other Marlin skipper

Number 11 is Jeff Torborg of the Plainfield Torborgs.

Hall-of-Famer Jim Leyland led them to the World Series in 1997, making him No. 4.

Number 14 is Ozzie Guillen.

that's correct

11 is not correct

The low-hanging fruit is Skip Schumaker, No. 18.

that is correct.

Torborg is a right answer, I'm gonna slide him in where he belongs at No. 7

I seem to recall #15 or 16 being Dan something. He was a front office guy with no experience that took the helm and that ruffled some feathers.

I don't know if you are counting Cookie Rojas's one-day reign as interim as one of the asterisks. Cookie Rojas, former Mets coach, is the namesake of my cat!

John Boles was the guy I've been trying to think of. That's gotta be him in the 2007-2010 slot (#10)
The novelty of him was that he was a nerdy front office type who became the first manager to have never played professional ball on any level.

Marshmallow is crushing this quiz

Boles is the other guy with 2 tenures as Marlins manager but neither one was 07-10. I'm giving you the first reign

Dan something is right but 16 not 15.
