Many Mets fans wanted Bobby Valentine hired to manage the Mets again at Citi Field. Well, there is still a chance he could manage here; The Boston Red Sox just need to make it to the World Series this year and he’ll be in the dugout managing the American League Club at next year’s All-Star Game.
It requires rooting for the Red Sox of course, which isn’t something I’ve ever had trouble doing. The enemy of my enemy is my friend after all.
The perfect scenario is Valentine manages the All-Star Game as the losing manager from this year’s World Series, and that Terry Collins manages the other team. An interesting twist would be if somehow the Nationals make the World Series and we get a Valentine vs. Davey Johnson matchup at Citi Field.
