| Why is the head man on a baseball team the Manager and not called a coach? |
|
It's weird. |
|
Well cause the manager, manages the team |
|
Better yet, why don't other coaches or managers from other sports wear uniforms like baseball managers do? Can you imagine Phil Jackson wearing shorts and a jersey? because there are many skills in baseball that need coaching.... In baseball, there are coaches for each specific aspect of the game (hitting coach, pitching coach, etc.). The manager's job isn't to coach the players, but to manage the game and make important decisions. The coaches coach, and the manager manages. the manager manages the team. it also sounds more professional. "In the early years of professional baseball the term "manager" generally was used to refer to what today is a general manager.. "Team Captain" usually referred to the bench manager. An 1876 National League rule barred managers from the players bench. Bench managers were accepted by the 1890s...Brooklyn's Charles Ebbets was not alone in 1898 in refusing to pay what he considered the excess baggage of a bench manager. He took over the club himself for most of the season." This is a good question, and I don't know why this is, and also if you notice, but I really don't need an answer tol do this, but you see the manger wearing thier baseball team's unfirom, where in other sports, you see the head coach in a suit and tie. In baseball u tend to manage a team more then coach. And if u called him coach what would u call his coaches? coachA coachB ?? because thats the way it is. |
