Darren beat me to mentioning Miller Huggins. I was surprised that until now
Huggins had not been mentioned. He was a "little guy" who had to manage a lot
of "big guys". How effective was he ? We'll never know, since he managed what
most BaseBall historians agree to be the greatest collection of ballplayers that
one team has ever assemled.

But, for my bucks, though, I would choose McGraw.....he, too, was a little
guy....but with a very big ego....and he was a "mean dude".....so mean, he
refused to play the Boston (AL) team in the 1904 World Series (because he
said they were unworthy); and then, declared his Giants the "World Champions".

Sorry, but I have to modify your #s on McGraw....12 NL Pennants (1904-23)
