Managers
Started this project some time ago, with Mack it may now be complete, postwar included for completeness. To clarify, these are my top 12 or so managers of all time.

I don't consider any of those in the top 10 managers, do you? Edited my post to make the nature of the project clearer.

All good additions, might I suggest Leo Durocher 1936 National Chicle fine pens as a representative card for him.

I would have Danny Murtaugh ahead of Cox and Weaver, who only won 1 World Series each despite managing much longer. Murtaugh was 2-0 in the World Series beating Stengel and Weaver. He took over a franchise who had finished last or next to last the previous 8 seasons and finished second, two seasons later won the World Series. In his 12 seasons he finished first 5 times and second twice.

It looks like you managed the management of your manager collection quite nicely.
Brian (always on the lookout for threads where I can manage to utilize said word with managerial precision. And nice collection, by the way). Last edited by brianp-beme; 07-19-2023 at 07:42 PM. |

Very cool project Peter! That Connie Mack is really cool. Well done!
Clark Griffith is another big name who managed 20+ years. According to his SABR bio, he was a player, manager, and owner for at least 20+ years in each category, spanning over 70 years! Here’s my Griffith I got from another member in a recent trade
