Tony Mansolino, now the interim manager of the Baltimore Orioles, reminisced about his childhood experiences at Milwaukee County Stadium, where his father, Doug Mansolino, worked as a coach. Reflecting on a particular incident from his past, Mansolino recalled witnessing a bench-clearing brawl involving his father and Brewers manager Phil Garner in 1993. Despite the chaos, this memory highlights the connection between past and present as Tony now leads the Orioles, in a city that holds significance due to his father's coaching history.
I remember sitting behind home plate, and the next thing you know there was a lot of ruckus going on over by the first base dugout. It turned out it was my dad and Phil Garner getting in a fight on the field.
I don't know the whole story. I just remember watching it and being pretty terrified as a kid.
Garner ended up getting Doug Mansolino to join his Brewers coaching staff in 1998. Doug went on to be part of Garner's coaching staffs with the Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros as well.
Tony Mansolino's first road game as interim manager of the Orioles was nostalgic as it reminded him of his father's coaching days in Milwaukee.
