Video: Top 5 NHL Players with the Most Stanley Cups – New Video Posts!
The Stanley Cup
First, thank you to my readers! You are the best. We have something in common – a love of sports history, stats, rankings, all-time leaders and the like.
Feel free to leave comments, suggestions and ideas on any post. Bookmark Sports List of the Day!
I try to bring you a new post every day. After over 650 (something published daily for nearly two years), and with everything else going on over here, it’s challenging to bring you the every day and keep it all fresh, if you know what I mean.
I’d like to add a little sizzle.
I have a solution that is going to keep delivering new sports knowledge to you every single day and that will also bring a more dynamic aspect to the sports lists: Video Posts.
The plan is to convert already-published or new lists into original posts featuring video clips of some of the players, teams or events described.
Yes, it’s a cliche, but this will make the statistical info (which we all love, right?) come alive.
Stay tuned and follow me on Twitter @VinGetz for tweets on the new video lists! There will be many coming, filling in some of those placeholders you’ve seen (you know – those “Coming Up!” posts). More than one will be out today.
Again, thank you so much for visiting Sports List of the Day. Spread the word!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the NFL Conference Championship Games, the return of the NHL or whatever sporting event is floating your fancy these days.

Bobby Valentine is the New Boston Red Sox Manager: Bobby V’s Lifetime Managing Record (U.S. and Japan)
Bobby Valentine, New Boston Red Sox Skipper (nj.com)
Bobby Valentine has been named the new Boston Red Sox manager and will be announced as so on Thursday. He is the 44th different manager in the team’s history. It’s going to be an interesting 2012 in the A.L. East, to say the least.
Bobby V. is known for both his baseball acumen, wacky behavior and polarizing nature. Love him or hate him, he brings a lot to the table. The Red Sox will be in the mix.
Valentine managed the Texas Rangers and the New York Mets, taking the Mets to the playoffs twice and the World Series once (overmatched by a New York Yankee dynasty in 2000).
He had more success in Japan, where he served two terms (1995 and 2004-2009) as the manager of the Chiba Lotte Marines of the Nippon Professional Baseball‘s (NPB) Pacific League.
The Marines play out of Chiba City. The NPB is Japan’s equivalent of MLB. One notable difference is that Japanese baseball allows ties. During the regular season, if the game is still tied after the 12th inning, it’s a tie.
Valentine went to the playoffs twice with the Marines, and won it all – the Nippon Series – in 2005.
His MLB lifetime regular season managing record is 1,117-1,072 (.510). For NPB, he is 494-450-23 (.523).
