I think Long had a similar streak when he was playing for the Hollywood Stars. The Stars were the best team in the PCL back when Bobbbbbbb and I were slugging each other in the Seals Stadium bleachers (I was big for my age and Bobbbb tried to kick me in the shins). The Stars were managed by Bobby Bragsn who actually spent some time in the state mental hospital in Atascadero. He was Leo Durocher on steroids.

The Seals never could beat the Stars.

Supposedly, the hiring of Bragan by the Braves cut off Walter O'Malley's plan to foist longtime skipper Walter Alston on the Braves and replace him with Leo Durochuer. Branch Rickey (O'Malley's longtime enemy), was semi-retired but found out about O'Malley's plan and inserted Bragan into the Braves' role.
