Mel,   Do you know how many of baseball's first six World Series Champions were coached by "player-managers"?    All six.   Do you know how many of the last 65 have been coached by player-managers?   Zilch.    The last player-manager to win a World Series was Lou Boudreau of the 1948 Cleveland Indians.    In fact, professional baseball hasn't even seen a player-manager since Pete Rose nearly thirty years ago. And his teams never even made the post-season.    Pro basketball hasn't had a player-coach in almost FORTY years.   Football? Nearly NINETY years.    Competition is fiercer. Athletes are stronger and faster. Billions more dollars are on the line.    The last NBA player-coach, Dave Cowens, when asked what advice he would give to someone considering it, replied, "Don't do it."   It's bad for the player.  It's bad for the coach. It's bad for the team.   The sports world has changed dramatically in 30 years.
