Grandpa and the boys put me in charge of finding out the 411 on the Cubbies new manager: Mike Quade.Wikipedia, here I come.
This was Mike Quade's fourth season as the Cubbie third base coach. As of Monday he is the 51st manager in Cubs history.
Before that he has been a first base coach for the A's and a Minor League manager for the Iowa Cubs, Vancouver Canadians (where they won the AAA World Series), Águilas Cibaeñas (where they won the Caribbean World Series), and the West Michigan Whitecaps (league champs). He was Manager of the Year with the Harrisburg Senators and Ottawa Lynx, and also managed the Rockford Expos, Scranton Red Barrons, Huntsville Stars and the Edmonton Trappers. Man, the dude has been around the block.
He had a 1,213-1,165 record as a Minor League manager.
Jim Hendry must like him, because he interviewed Quade for the Cubs manager spot in '06.
He is from Evanston, IL
He is 53.
And, it appears, that he doesn't have eyebrows.
From what I can tell, his entire head is hairless... kinda weird.
UPDATE: Turns out the dude has something called alopecia areata.. I appologize
yea he has severe alopecia since he was 3 yrs old.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere he's a certified ninja. Rumor is he almost pulled out a ninja star the day Z went nuts in the dugout.
ReplyDeletea ninja? really? maybe Hendry is simply afraid of his ninja abilities and thats why he hired him!
ReplyDeleteI guess next year is not going to be our year either.. oh well.
The guy has Alopecia. Which has actually become very common. Not wierd at all. Just something the man cannot control. Unlike other auto immune diseases that you can hide. Unfortunately he cannot. Actually alot people who have alopecia are very proud to see him as a role model with it. Kinda like the new beauty Queen of Delaware who has it.
