Default E270 McCarthy question

Posted By: Marty Ogelvie

I thought it looked a lot like Joe but am not familiar with what Alex looks like. I did however find this excerpt from a book about Joe McCarthy;

" Born in 1887 in Germantown, Pa., McCarthy lived to be 90 (1978) and served as manager of the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox. While viewed by many sports fans as among the greatest managers ever, Levy explains, McCarthy lacked top praise at first because he had never played in the majors. His field experience was limited to minor league play – including the Toledo Mud Hens. He combined his talents for the game with an analytical mind and abilities that taught him to manage people, statistics and hone the skills necessary to get the best from his players."
