Chuck Tanner's 3 secrets to becoming a good manager
Chuck Tanner, who performed the duty of manager in Major League Baseball and passed away on 11 February, 2011 at 82, had thought that there were three secrets to becoming a good manager.
Tanner had also elaborated, “The first secret is having patience. The second is being patient, and the third most important secret is patience."
Tanner used to listen to his team members’ matters carefully and patiently. He spent his life in serving the game as a performer, captain and particular consultant.
He had suffered from medical problems over the previous years. He didn’t bear the bacterial sickness that spread into his stomach and became the cause of his death. He had four sons; Mark, Brent, Bruce and Gary. Their misery was carved up by community across
the baseball countryside.
Commissioner Bud Selig said, "On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my deepest sympathy to Chuck's sons and the entire Tanner family, as well as to his many fans in Pittsburgh and throughout our game."
Tanner was an ideal person who always approved himself with elegance, modesty and truth. Pittsburgh Pirates president Frank Coonelly considers him as a loving player because he was always optimistic, excited and hopeful about his Bucs and life.
Chuck was worried intensely about his troupes and their families. He paid attention to the encouraging qualities of the nation with confidence and active leadership, Bud said. The deceased had guided the Bucs to a 711-685 record from 1977-85. The New Castle’s
supporters will always remember the efforts of Tanner. But that was not the entire level of his baseball profession.
Special advisor Roland Hemond appointed Tanner to direct in the Angels' organisation when he was the executive in 1960s. Both of them were appointed at the same time by the White Sox in 1970, when Tanner found his first Major League administrative prospect.
Grant Jackson, a reliever for the Pirates clubs stated, “I learned a lot from Chuck Tanner. Not just how to play the game but how to treat people. I used to sit and listen to him, and a lot of things he said were truths of life.”
Tanner was like a representative to the pastime. After he closed administration, he sat down at the back of home plate with the other explorers marking signature for the supporters. He actually appreciated the baseball followers.
If a person put on baseball uniform and engaged with the company of Tanner, he was the part of Tanner’s family. Chuck respected everyone. The community from all around will come to pay compliment to Chuck Tanner.
In order to pay tribute to Tanner and his long-lasting inheritance, the Pirates proclaimed that they would help in the formation of the Chuck Tanner’s "We Are Family Fund". They will yearly present a reward to the Pirates Minor League personnel who best
demonstrate the Tanner's hopefulness, eagerness and guidance.
