Even though Mike Quade managed the Cubs through their final 37 games of the 2010 regular season, he remains something of an unknown. For enlightenment, we turn to our Cubs blog, Bleed Cubbie Blue. Firstly:
Mike Quade: Who Is The ‘New’ Manager Of The Cubs?
Comment from me: I’m fine with this. Quade did a nice job. I was in favor of Ryne Sandberg -- not sure what will happen with him. Maybe we’ll find out at the news conference. Interesting timing -- it’ll begin at the same time as the NLCS game today.
Secondly (from last August):
Mike Quade is a Chicago-area native who graduated from Prospect High in Mt. Prospect in 1975. Including interim managers and the members of the infamous College of Coaches, he will become the 57th manager in Cubs history. He is the first Chicago native to manage the Cubs since Bob Kennedy had the helm from 1963-65. He will become the fourth manager in major league history whose name begins with the letter "Q": Joe Quinn managed the well-known Cleveland Spiders to most of their horrific record in 1899; Frank Quilici managed the Minnesota Twins for four years in the 1970s, and Mel Queen was interim manager of the Toronto Blue Jays for five games in 1997.
