Oh riiiiight. Yeah, he even turned into a manager. I wonder if he told his teams to do what he did when he was playing?

Incidentally baseball-reference lists Rick Manning's nickname as "Archie". Now, bbref has taken the tack of including pretty much any nickname a player has been called by in, like, any major publication, which I for one am all for, but I suspect that people calling him "Archie" (after Peyton Manning's dad) was about as popular as people calling Jim Beattie "Zelmo" (after the ABA basketball player).
