Crusty's best seasons have an almost direct correlation to
the MVP award.
18yrs as a manager, record slightly over .500, 1 pennant (2002-Bonds
MVP, SF was the Wild Card), 4 division titles (1997-Bonds 5th,
2000-Jeff Kent MVP Bonds 2nd, 2003-Sosa 8th, 2010-Votto MVP).
He was in SF from 1993-2002 (Barry Bonds came to SF in 1993) and his
record was .540
He was in CHI from 2003-2006 (in fairness, he missed Sosa's prime by a
couple of years, but had Prior and Wood before their injuries), his
record was .497
He's been in Cincy since 2008 and his record is .504
Marginal performance buoyed by 4 MVP's, including the most dominant
player in the history of the game in Bonds, with whom he managed 1
division title and 1 pennant. They melted down in that WS and his
Cubs did again against the Marlins in the famous Steve Bartman series.
The prosecution rests.
