The biggest time spread I see is LaRussa going 22 years between WS wins. Leyland also had a 20 year spread between two teams. That's a long time to be managing. 

Yes, two decades covering multiple organizations is rare at this point. With “Moneyball” and ownership cheapness in vogue (hire an inexpensive manager to implement the FO’s objectives), will be interesting to see if any managers in 2020 are still in the game in 2040. Mike Scioscia fell one season short of two decades with a single team. Doubt we’ll see that ever again.

Jack McKeon comes to mind as well, between his longevity (attempted to “manage” Dick Allen in Oakland) in 1977, to taking over for ex White Sox manager Jeff Torborg in May 2003 and riding Josh Beckett to an improbable World Series championship over the scum laden New York Yankees.

Two additional White Sox alumni represented in the post season lists, and of course Ricky Renteria who I was perhaps one of a couple on SoxTalk who actually liked him overall.

All you need to do today as a manager is allow players to do whatever they want and follow the computer commands. You don’t really need to spend a lot of money to accomplish those tasks. 
 

I’m guessing by the end of this decade there will be a manager in baseball with no playing experience above AA and by 2035 one without any pro ball experience just great motivational skills and knowledge of advance stats.

Tonight's game does not impact Division / League Leaders.

  • Houston continued their current Division and League Lead to became the first AL Team to go 4-0. 
  • Philadelphia now has a 1 1/2 game lead with a sweep of Atlanta, and the overall lead in the National League. Farmeo's "Fightin' Phils" hosts the Mets for their first game of the season.
  • Baltimore continued in first place in the AL East with a sweep over Boston. The travel to New York to face the Yankees tomorrow.
  • San Diego was knocked off of both their NL and Division Lead with a loss today, and the Dodgers' win in Colorado. Both are 3-1.
  • There is a three way tie for the AL Central, and a two way tie between the Cubs and Reds atop the NL counterpart.

  • Houston relinquished their American League and Division leads with their loss to Los Angeles. They play for AL West supremacy later today in Anaheim.
  • Sad to see Baltimore relinquish their first division lead since May 20, 2017. Perhaps they can return soon.
  • Four of the six divisions have a tie for first, the Phillies and Dodgers the two exceptions.

  • Today is the first day all six divisions have an undisputed leader. As the season continues, this will be more common than not.
  • Houston was off today, but retained their League and Division Lead. They open a series at Oakland later today. 
  • The Dodgers lost today, losing their one day NL lead to Cincinnati and Philadelphia, but retaining their lead over the NL West. 
  • Kansas City relinquished their first division lead since the start of 2019. Minnesota is now atop the AL Central with a half game lead. They will host the Seattle Mariners starting tomorrow.
  • Baltimore has their second undisputed hold over the AL East this season after their win over the Yankees. They host the team they swept opening weekend, Hawk's Carmines, for a three game series starting tomorrow.
