I know this didn't work out necessarily, but Jerry Manuel was the interim manager for the Mets, became their permanent manager.
He replaced Willie Randolph when Willie was fired.
And it was either his second or third game as manager of the Mets, and he benched Jose Reyes for not running a ball out.

Maybe that's really what it was.
But it really appeared as if Jerry Manuel went out to first base and benched him.
So it happens.

They ended up missing the playoffs.
But ultimately, they did well under Jerry Manuel.
