Something I did not necessarily know, but probably could have guessed: The Yankees have the best winning % amongst teams that have won a title during my lifetime. Braves are 2nd, Dodgers 3rd. To say I’ve been spoiled is an understatement. Outside of the Yankees, there has not been a more...
I mean he did have Jeter and A-Rod. Hard not to win whenever you have guys like that. Even so, that Phillies team was stacked and anyone that can beat a team like that for the World Series is a good coach imo.
All records aren’t created equally for MLB managers. Boone may have the 2nd best record amongst active coaches but he is doing it for a franchise with some of the deepest pockets in the sport. It is much more impressive whenever teams like the Royals, Brewers, and Rays are winning division titles.
I think that’s a certainty if the Blue Jays win the division. I’m actually shocked he has made it this long. I thought they would have gone after a better option a few years ago.
Kevin Cash would top my list. Under the age of 50 and has taken the Rays to the playoffs 5 times including 2 divisional titles. Just a reminder the Rays have 9 playoff appearances and 4 divisional titles for their entire history.
