Does every manager in the 1,000 Wins Club (#1 through #57) belong in the National Baseball Hall of Fame? Share your opinion on Baseball Fever.

This top 100 chart can be used to answer many different trivia questions including; Who is the manager who never played Major League Baseball with the most wins? Which Hall of Fame skipper has the least number of wins? Which three active managers are in the top twenty?

Did you know that one Hall of Fame manager does not even appear on this list? That skipper is Rube Foster of the Negro Leagues who began managing in 1907 (went 110-10 with the Chicago Leland Giants), formed the modern Negro National League, and won the first three consecutive (1920-1922) pennants?
