Actually, he isn’t a bad manager, as far as I can tell. He just can’t pitch, hit, or field at all.

Those that can, do. Those that can’t, manage.

This was adapted into the stage musical “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”, although Linus replaced Schroeder and Patty (later Sally) replaced Lucy, since Lucy and Schroeder already head lines in that same scene.

I actually agree with Schroeder, Charlie Brown seems to be a very good manager, he’s good at telling his team what to do in different situations and at motivating them. He doesn’t play too great though, we’ve seen that Linus is a much better pitcher. So yeah he’d be an excellent non-playing bench manager
