Last night the Orioles won 3-1, giving Buck Showalter his 250th victory as the team's manager. He had previously won 313 games with the Yankees, an even 250 with the Diamondbacks, and 319 with the Rangers. So now Buck can say that he is one of only four skippers in big league history to win at least 250 games for each of four different teams. The others were Joe Torre, Gene Mauch, and former O's utility player Dick Williams. Torre actually reached 250 wins with five different teams, but that's a record that I'd prefer Showalter not chase. I'd feel better with him chasing several hundred more wins in orange and black, if it's all the same.
