Strike a managerial pose


Chuck was the Atlanta Braves manager in the late 80's. Here we see him trying his best to act "managerial". In baseball terms, this means either one of 2 things, 1) put on your best shades and stand with lineup card and pen at the ready, or 2) Sit placidly on the bench and gaze reflectively on the field of play. Chuck opted for the more fan friendly put on your best shades and stand with lineup card at the ready. Chuck looks like he spent 30 years in middle management for Coca-Cola or something and was living a simple retired life in Florida where you wouldnt be surprised to be caught behind his 1988 Oldsmobile as it goes 35 mph down the highway with his left directional on. As you passed him, you wouldnt see the steely nerve in his eyes as they would be covered by those damned sunglasses. It was these qualities that made the Braves come knocking for his services.
