Obscure sports trivia

Staying on managers, the Dodgers had two managers between 1954 and 1996. There have been eight since. Name them.

 

I finally looked it up. Don't think I would ever have come up with Green, who really had an odd coaching career. Won a WS title in his second year in Philly in 1980, finished 1st in first half of split 1981 season, then was let go after Phils lost to Montreal in playoffs -- then didn't get a second shot until 1989, his lone season in the Bronx, when he was his fired two-thirds of the way through the year. I loved those late 1980s, early 1990s Yankees teams. They fucking sucked

 

Davey Johnson, Dave Roberts, Don Mattingly...and that's all I got.

 

Who is the last first round NFL pick from an Ivy League school?

 

Calvin Hill?

Probably some obscure guy from the early 1900s, but I will say Lefty Grove.

 

Not him, but guy is definitely not obscure

 

Hint: he was a lefty
