I never thought Bancroft was in the hall and after double checking I am sure.
He certainly was a less than stellar manager and his one good 84 World Series season with a team he was given was followed by a sub .500 season with the same roster. One could call that WS season a fluke as he was basically a interim manager for teams in a traveling career. The stats are hardly HoF territory.
Also, I don't think at all that that fella in the auction photo is Bancroft either. They just don't seem to match at all.
