  • 8 men handle all Cub coaching and managing tasks!
  • ... at both major and minor league levels!
  • They rotate from one assignment to another!
  • They take turns being head coach or manager!
  • Supposedly, each will promote the same theories!
  • In effect, they will be totally interchangeable!

    • When the Cubs utilized the college of coaches, the idea was ridiculed
    by baseball men, sportswriters, and fans, but just remember. . .

  • The people at the top are always suckers for ideas like this!
  • As baseball grows more corporate, this scheme is bound to be revived!
