McCarthy, Joseph Vincent ("Joe")

(b. 21 April 1887 in Philadelphia; d. 13 January 1978 in Buffalo, New York), the greatest manager in baseball history, he managed in two leagues and three teams (including the New York Yankees) for twenty-four years, during which his teams won 2,125 games for a winning percentage on .615; no team of his finished out of the first four in any league.

The first manager to win pennants in both leagues, McCarthy managed the Chicago Cubs to the World Series in 1929. Overall, his teams won seven World Series in nine appearances, and his career winning percentages of .615 in the regular season and .698 in the postseason remain major-league records. At the end of his career, McCarthy managed the Boston Red Sox. Although his Red Sox teams won 96 games in both
