The New York Yankee’s Joe McCarthy was a smaller fellow who dreamed of being a baseball player in his rough and tumble neighborhood, ruined a knee, and would never reach the major leagues as a player. Yet, he would become one of the winningest baseball managers in the history of all of baseball. Recently I published my top 10 Yankee managers. It was torture determining my top three. I placed Casey Stengel as number one and Joe McCarthy as number three as Stengel accomplished his seven Yankee Championships in 500 fewer games. But looking at his entire career managing three teams, he was number one.
