Cubs historical sleuthing: Managerial edition

Getty Images focused on the visiting manager here:

Manager Buck Rodgers #37 of the Montreal Expos argues with an umpire during a Major League Baseball game against the Chicago Cubs circa 1986 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois.

The Cubs manager in this photo is Gene Michael. Michael managed the Cubs for the last 102 games of 1986 and the first 136 of 1987. Rodgers was the Expos manager both of those seasons.

There were 11 games managed by Michael for the Cubs against the Expos at Wrigley Field during those seasons (he wasn’t the manager for the first 1986 series or the last 1987 series).
