Managers
Eleven men have managed the Daytona Cubs baseball team since its inception in 1993. Four managers have guided the team to win the FSL Championship: Dave Trembley (1995), Richie Zisk (2000), Steve McFarland (2004), and Jody Davis (2008). Trembley won 290 games from 1995 to 1996 and 2001 to 2002, placing him first on the all-time wins list for Cubs managers. Having managed the team for 545 games, he is also the longest-tenured manager in team history. The manager with the highest winning percentage over a full season or more is Steve McFarland (.556). Conversely, the lowest winning percentage over a season or more is .429 by the team's first manager, Bill Hays. Buddy Bailey is the team's current manager; he managed his first Cubs game in 2006. He was replaced as manager following the season but returned to Daytona in 2009. These records are correct as of the end of the 2010 season.

Famous quotes containing the word managers:
“We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn’t always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
