This man had a habit of taking a disassembled mountain bike onto planes, then putting it back together in order to ride to the ballpark, while serving as bench coach for the Angels from 1994 to 2005. In a 2006 game against the Mariners, this manager's team completed the first-ever 2-6-2 triple play. In a 2008 game against the Rangers, he ordered a bases-loaded intentional walk of Josh Hamilton. He was once associated with the slogan "nine equals eight," and his coaches include Dave Martinez, Jim Hickey, and former Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer
