Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"When Alvin Dark took over as Oakland's manager this spring, he said he had a model for the job. It was not John McGraw, Miller Huggins, Casey Stengel, or any other successful field boss. 'The past few years,' announced Dark with a straight face, 'I've tried to think of how Jesus Christ would handle ballplayers.' Two months into the season, the obstreperous A's think Dark is anything but a baseball messiah. 'The guy's a quack,' say some players." - Time Magazine. Alvin Dark: Dugout Disciple. 3 June 1974.
