Nicknamed "Scrap Iron" due to his gritty style of play, Garner later became a manager for the Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros, leading them to the World Series in 2005. In 1992, Garner replaced Tom Trebelhorn as manager of the Brewers. He quickly placed a running style of play as every starter stole at least 10 bases. Standing out were 1992 AL Rookie of the Year Pat Listach who stole 54 bases, veteran Paul Molitor stealing 31, and outfielder Darryl Hamilton stealing 41. This gave the Brewers a 2nd place finish in the competitive AL East. But after that, Garner's teams in Milwaukee and Detroit would not finish at .500. But 2004 was different. After a slow start under Jimy Williams, Garner was the savior of the Astros as he led them to a National League WildCard berth. After the loss to St. Louis in the NLCS, the Astros experienced another slow start. But the Astros came back to win another Wildcard. But this time, Houston would win the pennant. But the White Sox would sweep the Astros in the World Series. As of 2006, he is still managing the Astros. He will manage the 2006 National League All Star Team in Pittsburgh on July 11, 2006. Garner cites Chuck Tanner, his manager during his time with the Pirates, as one of his biggest coaching influences.
