[edit] Biographical Information
Tim Teufel and Jim Gott were linked in an odd way in the major leagues. "Gott" means "God" in German, while "Teufel" means "Devil" in the same language. Since Jim was a pitcher and Tim was a hitter, and they were mostly in the same league during their careers, that meant God faced the Devil regularly. Although Teufel hit a homer off of Gott early on in their matchups, overall God had more success than the Devil.
After retiring, Teufel joined the Mets organization as a scout in 1998. In 2001 and 2002, he was their Minor League infield coordinator, and has managed a number of their farm teams since.
An anagram for Tim Teufel is futile met.
