Kansas City Royals: Mike Matheny should be next Royals manager
By Cullen Jekel
And so now there’s Mike Matheny. The Kansas City Royals replacing Yost when he retires with Matheny would be excellent, given the Curse of Scotty Bowman.

Mike Matheny has experience managing. Better yet, he has experience managing in St. Louis, and as it’s been well-documented by at least one scholar in the last two last slides, when a St. Louis organization makes an asinine decision to fire someone, it turns out pretty well for that someone’s future employer.
To recap, excluding Don Coryell, professional sports teams in St. Louis fired 11 individuals who went on to win a total of 28 professional championships one collegiate national championship.
Could Matheny make that 12 for 29? 12 for 30?
Here’s to it–as long as it’s with the Royals. After all, the Curse knows no bounds. It is not restricted to the rink, the hardwood, the grid iron. It extends to the diamond. It hops from city to city, from New York to Montreal to Detroit to Cincinnati, even Tuscaloosa.
So, keep an open mind about Mike Matheny becoming the next skipper of the Kansas City Royals when the time comes. It’s certainly debatable, but there’s a curse involved here, people!
And the curse is good for Kansas City and bad for St. Louis. We should all be down with that.
