In an effort to have a little fun with the Coop Scoop blog, I am producing a (somewhat) daily trivia quiz called "Mud Hen Mindbender." No prize; this is just a way to get your day moving. Ready? Here we go ...
Phil Nevin is in his second season as Mud Hens manager. How many managers around the International League have been in their current position longer than Nevin?
The answer to Wednesday’s question? Danny Worth had five RBIs against Louisville on Tuesday, and Argenis Diaz had four RBIs versus the Bats on Monday. When was the last time a Mud Hen had at least five RBIs in a game this season? It wasn’t that long ago: John Lindsey had six RBIs at Columbus July 25.
Do you think you know the answer to today’s question? Click on the "comments" link below and give us your answer! I'll post the answer tomorrow along with another trivia question. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Dave Miley for sure and possibly Wally Backman as well.

Dave Miley for sure ... sixth season with SWB.
Backman, no. In his first season with Buffalo.

Charlie Montoya, Ron Johnson

John: Montoya is a yes ... sixth season with Durham.
Johnson is a no, although he deserves an asterisk. He was at Pawtucket for a long time, but this is his first year in Norfolk.
OK, here's a give-away hint: There are TWO other managers with more tenure in their current position. Can you name either one (or both)?

Pepper: Yes and yes. Brundage is in his sixth season in Gwinnett, Sarbaugh is in his third year with the Clippers.
New question Friday!
