    <answer label="Lou Pinella">OF, Mgr, b. 1943. These players provided some punch to their respective franchises.  As a manager, Pinella transformed the Seattle Mariners into a powerhouse that won an AL record 116 games in 2001.  Thomas energized the Court's conservative side when he replaced liberal Thurgood Marshall.  Since 2006, especially, the lineup of Thomas, Scalia, and Alito has been swatting liners to right with great consistency.  Controversy also has followed these players.  Thomas's appointment barely squeaked by the Senate (52-48) given his judicial philosophy and accusations of sexual harassment.  Pinella had many memorable rhubarbs with the men in blue (both as a player and manager), and sometimes openly criticized the tactics of opposing players.</answer>
