That is saying a bit much. How many intelligent fans have actually played in a major, or for that matter, a minor league game? How many spend most of their time working with these players and know what is going on with them? I would think you would have to know quite a bit about the game in order to make it to the level that he has.
I honestly don't care if my manager has ever picked up a glove let alone a bat. You simply do not make the decisions Ozzie has made over the years if you are a good manager. I'm sure he has a great rapport with our players, but he simply does not know how to handle a ballclub properly. This is not the NL, Fields does not equal Eckstein, and Ozzie is not any more knowledgable for having been a s***ty ballplayer.
