Who do you feel is the best MLB manager of all time and why?

Sparky. Duh, Tiger bias is there but yeah, in a time where lineups weren't out 8 hours before game time and newspapers didn't scrutinize the managers decisions before the game even started. He was the best. Now, with all that goes on, with people complaining about every decision. Jim Leyland. (More Tiger bias but he was great with the Tigers and the Giants)

How about Joe McCarthy? Where would Sim leaguers rank him? Lot of titles.

this includes two semi -specific talents,,longevity, and or ability to get champs out of what u have,,former,,,john McGraw, alston, baker, torre,, latter, and or a blend, leyritz, Kelly, francona,casey Stengel, or maybe the guy manages the giants,,cant spell his name

current redsox manager,,,caught lightning in a bottle,,good for him, but ,,,

wrote leyritz, for some weird reason, meant the current yanks manager, name escapes me, he does a good job,,was a catcher,,

girardi, srry, put some whisky in my coffee, also the guy from the royals, and seems paul molitor has the makeup of a good manager

McCarthy, of course, hes given lots of credit, having to do with lefty, righty matchups, won a few series, to

too

cant disincude lou Piniella, ultimate father figure,, and maybe cito gaston

Perhaps Bill McKechnie? Or Connie Mack? Maybe Billy Martin.

50 years from now or sooner people will be looking up manager records on challenges.

Joe McCarthy
Earl Weaver

Leo Durocher
