Joey Cora would be an excellent choice

A few years ago when Joey Cora was a Seattle Mariners player, we were lucky to be at Spring Training.

The players all parked their cars in an enclosed lot and many fans, especially teenagers and young adults, waited to get autographs. My husband and I watched several big-time players drive off, giving no autographs. Joey Cora would park his car across the street and sign autographs for 30 minutes.

I say, Cora for manager!
