Leo Durocher said, “The nice guys are all over there, in seventh place.” about the 1946 New York Giants – seventh place was next-to-last place in the National League. This was shortly afterwards rendered as “‘Nice Guys’ Wind Up in Last Place, Scoffs Lippy”. This has been condensed into its present form, "Nice guys finish last."

I don't see that kind of thing happening with Bill Chaaban.
