WHO IS Rick Manning?

There was a time when baseball teams would play a center fielder who averaged five home runs per season. That’s if they could catch the ball, and that’s what Manning, who won the Gold Glove Award in 1976, could do. He played 13 seasons despite being a low-average singles hitter. He is probably most remembered as the man who stole his teammates’ wife.
Manning hit a walkoff single for the Brewers on August 26, 1987, but found jimself booed by Milwaukee fans. Why? Because Paul Molitor was in the on-deck circle needing a hit to extend his 39-game hitting streak.
