    Incorrect 175 Point Trivia Answer

    Here's the Question: Which of the following MLB managers never managed the Atlanta Braves?
    A: Joe Torre
    B: Bobby Cox
    C: Ted Turner
    D: Dusty Baker

    I answered Dusty Baker. Result said I was wrong and the answer is Ted Turner. As far as I can tell, Dusty never managed the managed the Braves. He played for them, but didn't manage. More importantly, Ted Turner is not an MLB manager so how can it be correct to say that he was an MLB manager that never managed the Braves?

    You have to believe this will be corrected for you, if that in fact was the question.

    either way, you shouldn't get it for not selecting Ted Turner.

    OK then I was definitely right. My answer was Dusty Baker. Did Dusty Baker ever manage the Braves? I wikipedia'd it and it doesn't say he ever managed the Braves. He PLAYED for the Braves, but didn't manage for them.

    Sounds like semantics. Dusty managed fewer games than Ted.

    Dusty Baker was a hitting coach for a while I think.

    Hitting coach is definitely not the same as manager. Did Dusty ever manage the Braves?

    Plus, it seems as if Ted Turner is certainly not the correct answer because he did manager the Braves for a game.

    I don't care about the points, it's the principle of the matter. If you have nothing useful to say, why bother commenting?

    Shari may be dodging this as I saw her responding to another thread earlier. Maybe she is off her shift but she should have addressed it last night or Louis this morning.

    Shari give him his 175 freeplay so he can put it on the bulls to win it all next year

    Ted Turner was the right answer right?

    I can't see how it would be. My answer was Dusty Baker. Unless there's something I couldn't find, as far as I can tell Dusty Baker never managed the Braves, and therefore that should be the correct answer. Seems pretty straightforward.

    Dusty Baker
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusty_Baker

    As player


    As manager




    Ted Turner

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Turner

    For most of his first decade as owner of the Braves, Turner was a very hands-on owner. He said, "Managing isn't that difficult; you just have to score more runs than the other guy." In 1977, he sent manager Dave Bristol on a "scouting trip" so Turner could manage the Braves; he ran the team for one game (a loss) before National League president Chub Feeney told him managers are forbidden to own financial interest in their club. In the mid-1980s Turner began leaving day-to-day operations to the baseball operations staff.

    If you manage just one game in the big leagues, you are considered an MLB manager. That's how the record books work.

    Thanks. I am positive SBR had the supposed correct answer as Ted Turner. I guess I should have taken a screenshot, but I definitely know I answered Dusty Baker and it came back as wrong, with Ted Turner as the supposed correct response.
