World Series Manager Records

Not just winning managers, not just a manager with a great winning percentage, but taking it all the way... This is the all time victories chart for managers who had a season good enough to get them to the "big show" then won it all. Baseball Almanac has also presented another chart with managers who have won the most individual games during the Series itself.

"The only trouble is to get him (one of his players) to put down his cup of beer and come down out of the stands and do those things." - Danny Murtaugh (Manager of two World Championship teams)

World Series Games Won



Joe Torre was the skipper of the New York Yankees for twelve "short" years, yet he appears on virtually every managerial chart in respect to World Series games.

Joe McCarthy won seven fewer World Series games than The Old Perfessor, but has the same number of rings as Casey Stengel (7 each).

Did you know that Bobby Cox had eleven wins during World Series games played, but only one Fall Classic ring to his name?
