This space was used late last season to endorse Pete Mackanin’s continuing presence as the Phillies manager. That column had so much influence over general manager Matt Klentak that he removed Mackanin from the managerial position three days later.
It would be really cool if we could travel to some parallel universe and see how this same Phillies team is doing under Mackanin,. But it is probably going to be a while before Elon Musk’s great-great-great-great-great-grandson makes that kind of thing possible.
