Random Not Important Baseball Poll

[FrankWakefield]

Interesting answers... I liked seeing Brock, Musial, Mathewson, Cobb, and Ruth.

I think that some of the guys that played or coached or managed a zillion years would be interesting, someone like Branch Rickey, Casey Stengel, Leo Durocher, Red Schoendienst, Connie Mack, or Honus Wagner...

.... one overall, John McGraw.


I keep thinking that plotting out a genealogy of sorts for baseball managers would be neat. And I think the two people at the top of the 'trees' to trace down from would be John McGraw and Connie Mack. Think about a list of all World Series winning managers who played or coached for John McGraw or someone he coached or managed, or someone who played for someone who played for McGraw... compared to a similar list for Connie Mack.

I'd hope that if I ever got to watch a game with John McGraw that the game would go extra innings.

I met Brock once at an auto signing, I was 14, raced from baseball practice in my gear to meet him. I was last in line and he talked to me for 10 minutes. He made me feel like an old friend. I would love to sit with him for an entire game.
