While that is a nice picture, the Jerry Manuel we all know and love never played for the Cubs (http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/manueje01.shtml).

It looks like a minor league or ST photograph, though. Maybe he spent some time in their camp.

I was thinking ST, cause the link he provided says he was traded to them in 83, but his last game played was in 82

There we go. When I found the image, I wasn't sure where it come from, but that is defintely "The Tinkerer" in the photo.

That's funny. And it makes you think. Take a look around the league folks...the next crappy utility infielder you see, could be your crappy manager in 20 years... :o:

I clearly said utility. If I meant gold glove defender and inspirational leader, I'd have said so.

Look at the bottom of the page that you linked him to proving youre right and hes wrong.
February 7, 1983: Traded by the Montreal Expos (http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/MON/1983.shtml) to the Chicago Cubs (http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHC/1983.shtml) for Butch Benton (http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bentobu01.shtml)

You can see Manuel pretty frequently on ESPN Classic, when they replay the 1976 Tigers-Yankees game where Mark Fidrych pitched. Manuel went in as a sub late in the game, kind of gives me the creeps seeing him.
