My friend Josh Levitt recently conducted an interview with Wally Backman, now managing the Joliet Jackhammers.
Here’s an excerpt:
Jorge Says No!: Does your managing style differ from your playing style?
Wally Backman: No. Not at all.
Jorge Says No!: Do you still hope to one day have the opportunity to manage in the major leagues?
Wally Backman: Absolutely.
Jorge Says No!: Or how about coach in the majors?
Wally Backman: Nah, I wanna manage.
Oh, Wally. Never change.
