Opening Day Problems

TreAnt985 · 04-16-2002, 10:07 PM

Who is the only manager to quit after Opening Day?

Also, who once wouldn't play on Opening Day since his eyelid was stuck shut?

Chris Brown is the 2nd, no?

Tre - still haven't got that one question per thread thing down yet, huh?

Eddie Sawyer - with the Phils, in 1960 was it?

The way I remember the story is Brown claimed he couldn't play because he couldn't sleep the night before, since he had a defect in his eyelids and they wouldn't close.

I didn't think it was opening day for Brown's excuse.

Jose Cardenal had an eyelid stuck open, I thought.

Sorry about the 2 questions, but since they were closely related, I didn't want to take up any extra space on the forum-board

Sawyer is correct for the manager, and it was with the 1960 Phillies.

Jose Cardenal is the eyelid-guy. He said he slept on his eye wrong and that it wouldn't open in 1974.
