Crazy trivia stolen from another site:
There were twelve men in uniform (players, managers, coaches) who were or would be managers for baseball teams at some point in their careers, that played/coached in that game.
(and one who was on the roster but sat on the bench that day)
Those men were (with total wins as a manager):
Bobby Cox 2504 (coach)
Lou Piniella 1835 (player)
Tommy Lasorda 1599 (manager)
Dusty Baker 1405 (player)
