25 TV Dads that would make elite MLB managers
Tywin Lannister
Tywin Lannister is ruthless. Absolutely ruthless. He’d literally kill his own son if it was for the greater good of his brand. His brand is, “I’ll kill my own son if it benefits me.” Tywin Lannister is always on brand.
You know how some players play for the name on the front and not the name on the back? Tywin plays for the name on the front. As long as the name on the front says “Lannister.” We’d have to change the name of a certain MLB team, but that’s not an issue. Some teams could use a makeover.
If the front of the jersey doesn’t say “Lannister,” Tywin is definitely playing for the name on the back.
I’ve mentioned plenty of hard-nosed managers who aren’t afraid to make the tough decisions throughout this article. No one will pull the trigger like Tywin. I’d like to see John Lackey argue with him over getting pulled in the sixth inning. We’d never hear from John Lackey ever again.
Minnesota Tywin Lannister’s
In order for Tywin to be a successful manager, we’d have to change the name of the Twins. That’s not a big deal. Their current logo is confusing as it is. Are you the Reds or the Rangers? Make up your mind, Minnesota.
Minnesota has a losing culture. Vikings, Timberwolves, Wild, Twins. Four teams, three major titles. And the Twins own all three of those rings. So yeah, pretty sad state of affairs in Minnesota. But since the Twins are the winningest team in the town, we’ll let them keep their place of residence.
With the mascot changed, the Minnesota Tywin Lannister’s are poised for big things. And if they don’t deliver, I hope Tyrion is around to save them.
