People still say there's a Mattingly curse. He retired in 1995 and the Yankees won it all in 1996. He left the Yankees coaching staff in 2008 to go to LA with Torre and the Yankees won again in 2009 under Girardi. He then left the Dodgers prior to the 2016 season only to see the Dodgers in the World Series in 2017.
I wouldn't feel too bad for Ray Kroc though. He caught a much better break than winning a Series in his lifetime.
