Took a look at some of Jim Leyland's cards on the Baseball Card Database and noticed something interesting.
Above we have a Topps card of Jim Leyland likely hitting a Fungo as the Pirates manager.
And here we have Leyland with the Tigers 17 years later once again hitting a Fungo.
Most manager cards are profile shots, rarely these sort of "action" shots. Which brings me to the....
Phungo Challenge
Is there another manager that can be found batting on 2 different cards. Has to be a manager card, a pair of Ryne Sandberg cards of him batting for the Chicago Cubs doesn't count.
Jim Leyland
I don't think that Leyland is done managing. I think he and Detroit may have had enough of each other. I know 68 seems old enough to retire, but some folks don't appear to be built for Retirement and I think Leyland is one of them.
