Talk:Bristol Tigers

From BR Bullpen

Anybody have a guide or register from 1972? Johnson & Wolff list Joe Lewis as the manager of both the Batavia Trojans (NY-P) and the Bristol Tigers (App) in 1971. I'm trying to figure out which he was with, and who managed the other. --Just me 18:21, 20 May 2006 (EDT)

The Guide lists Joe Lewis with both. So either it's an error or it's two different guys named Joe Lewis. - --Mischa 22:24, 20 May 2006 (EDT)

My new theory is that it is an error. According to Jim Leyland's Bio, Leyland began managing at Bristol in 1971. The Guide had a typo (maybe Lewis was supposed to manage there, but was moved up), and the typo was perpetuated in Johnson & Wolff's book. --Just me 12:10, 23 September 2006 (EDT)

Joe Lewis was with Batavia in 1970 & 1971. The other info IS a typo. I know. I was there. He was my dad. He went to Bristol in 1972. -tlewis1585@aol.com
