Baseball Managers

Baseball Managers

A Major League manager is one of the most overlooked participants in the game — yet he is a major part of every pennant winner. Only a few fans can recite any managerial records, or tell who managed their favorite team, or even name those who have been enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Those records, team breakdowns (which are 100% comprehensive), and hall of fame skippers are here in Baseball Almanac's Major League managers section.

"I'd always heard it couldn't be done, but sometimes it don't always work." - Hall of Fame Manager Casey Stengel (1934-1965)
