"Trivia time" from the Los Angeles Times

How many people have managed at least one game for the Chicago Cubs since Frank Chance led them to their last World Series title?

Trivia answer:

Fifty.

The list includes, Joe McCarthy (1926-30), before he was a genius; Rogers Hornsby (1930-32), after he was a .400 hitter; and Johnny Evers (1913) and Joe Tinker (1916), meaning that Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance worked a whole lot better for the Cubs than Chance-to-Evers-to-Tinker.

The only former Cubs manager who seemed suited for the job, at least in name, was Charlie Grimm.
