Well, I can see Lucy’s point of view,as she is saying,“Manager of the year for what? I mean, how can he be selected manager, when he isn’t even managing the team, if you’re going to take over the mound chores,Peppermint Patty?” At least that’s what I’ve gotten out of it—that PP simply had said what she says here, in Panel 2,“off the top of her head,” since she knows how important winning a game for a change, is to “Chuck”; don’t forget, she had only recently joined Peanuts, the previous August, when this was published.

He would be a manager like most teams have – they sit on the bench, write out the lineup, select the pitcher, a few other things like lead practices – but during the games, allow the players to play the game.
