A cheap and ill informed shot at Bobby Cox who took over the Blue Jays in 1982. He turned a sad sack club into a contender. Here are the Jays' numbers before, during and after the Cox era:
1981: 37-69 (7th)
1982: 78-84 (6th)
1983: 89-73 (4th)
1984: 89-73 (2nd)
1985: 99-62 (1st)
1986: 86-76 (4th)

While the Blue Jays were obligated to honour the terms of the written contract and they would have, a manager fills out the lineup card. Cliff Johnson could have chosen to continue getting his limousine rides to Exhibition Stadium where his position would have been on the end of the bench. Or in Syracuse of the International League. His choice.
