He also put a uniform on himself and sat in the dugout acting like the manager, eventually MLB cancelled that self-promotional idea.

He is credited as managing one game which the Braves lost. May 11, 1977, for the Atlanta Braves (the Braves lost 2–1 to the Pittsburgh Pirates to bring their losing streak to 17 games).

I think once the commissioner of MLB saw Ted Turner in the dugout wearing a uniform, he put a stop that ASAP.
