25 TV Dads that would make elite MLB managers

Red Forman

On the surface, Forman is a hard-nosed guy who isn’t going to take any nonsense from his players. But there’s a softer side to the man. He allowed Hyde to live with him and allows the kids to engage in reindeer games in the basement.

You never have to wonder where you stand with Forman. He expects a lot out of his players, but if you’re hardworking and not a dumbass, he’ll appreciate you. If you complain and whine, he’ll stick his foot up your ass.

Now, sometimes Forman isn’t the smart guy in the world. He was so blinded by his daughter’s niceness that he didn’t realize she was actually a bully and someone who sleeps around. You can play Forman for a fool sometimes, which is his biggest flaw as a potential manager. This is not a big del. Every manager has a flaw and baseball has always turned a blind eye to cheaters.

Best Fit: Toronto Blue Jays

We have to put Red in Canada. He’s an American war vet who loves his country and will defend it until he dies. Sticking him in Canada is the meanest thing I could possibly do to him. That’s not to say Canada is bad. Canada is great. In fact, it’s better than America. But Forman will not it that way. He’ll be miserable in Canada. Even more miserable than he already is.

After a couple of seasons where it looked like the Blue Jays were turning things around, they were back to being the Blue Jays last season. This team needs a fire lit underneath them.

Sending in an American who is going to demand everyone perform at their best and who is going to be unhappy up north is just the spark they need. With Forman at the helm, you can expect the Blue Jays back in the World Series.
