Jimmy Carter won. Ford...Gerald Ford lost in 1976. Jimmy Carter won. Ford turned out to be the lucky one there.<br /><br />Any manager who is available for the Mets job who doesn't get it... may be luckier than the man who does.<br /><br />I can just hear George Steinbrenner from the ultimate skybox: "Buttons? Buttons don't win championships! My pep talks do!" To which Billy Martin would say, "Sure, George." And to which Gil Hodges would say... nothing.
