Judge Dred (Fred)I've pasted Miller's managerial record below. As a player he wasn't real flashy. As a manager he inherited Babe Ruth in 1920. Look at the record before 1920 and after 1920. He had one subpar season with the Yanks - 1925. Look what happened to Babe Ruth that year. From 1919 - 1933 it was Babes worst season. In 1925 Babe set lows for HRs, RBIs and BA for the years 1919 - 1933.
Huggins had some great teams to manage. Do I think he's a borderline HOF? I don't know. He was in the thick of it during the 20's! It's kind of like being Joe Torre today. Look at all the talent he gets to manage, kinda like Joe Torre (who should be enshrined because of his overall career as a player and manager, after he finally retires).
