Thanks for the list Bill. , But I’m going to go with Joe McCarthy for manager over Connie Mack. Won league championships in both leagues with three different teams, 7x World Series champion, Even after 70 years Yankees all-time leader in managerial wins with 1460, And, most importantly: Highest winning percentage of all time by a manager with .615
Connie Mack was manager more because he had an in with the owner. š

Good pick. Can’t go wrong with Marse Joe.

Let’s add Larry “O’Miggins” as our utility player.

Bob – Sure as Mist and Moonlight in an evening toast to that one sound and savory suggestion! The O’Miggns motion is most happily seconded!

Is there space for Tip O’Neill? He had a great year in 1887.

At liitle off topic, but John Kennedy, born on May 29, 1941 (exactly 24 years after the President) broke in the Major Leagues with the Washington Senators in 1962. Erin Go Bragh.
