Removed the S.
The linking the manager and player profiles can only really happen once B-Ref gives him an MLB manager ID.
Part of the problem with the id system we use for managers right now is there's no real way to link non-MLB manager personnel with their player profiles if they did not play in MLB (since a B-Ref MLB or MLB manager id is required for this).
I think we might try to take a look at improving this at some point in the future and bringing in B-Ref minors ids for staff members.
