Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recorded his 1,000 career regular-season win in just 1,606 games.
Who is the fastest manager in MLB history to reach 1,000 career regular-season wins?
- Tommy Lasorda
- Dick Williams
- Cap Anson
- Earl Weaver
- Dave Roberts
Answer: Dave Roberts
Roberts reached the milestone in his 1,606th game, passing Cap Anson who needed 1,641 decisions) to reach 1,000 wins.
I wonder how Anson would feel about a black man breaking his record – as Anson actively refused to take the field against teams with black players, and was highly influential in banning blacks from playing Major League Baseball.
