MLB Manager Records | Research by Baseball Almanac |
In 1977, the Texas Rangers became the only team in American League history to have four managers – during the same season!
In major league history, only two managers have ever managed more than 4,000 games, Connie Mack and Tony La Russa. If you want see a list of the 3,000 Games Managed Club, we actually have a research set of every single manager in baseball history sorted by most games managed – and we update it every single day (during the regular season)!
Casey Stengel took the helm of the New York Yankees in 1949, then won a ring every season through 1953, making him the only manager to win five consecutive World Series rings.
Did you know that the youngest manager to start a season with a club was Lou Boudreau? He was barely past the age of twenty-four when he became the manager of the Cleveland Indians in 1941.
