Fregosi was one, but there was another. I know it, but I will let somebody else answer it.  Hint: His comment started the "Winnin' Ugly" motto.

Doug Rader...   Here aresome winning percentages as Managers of the Sox:  .509  .461  .512  .551  .504  .515  .492  .515    Can you match the winning % with the manager?  Guillen - Manuel - LaMont - Bevington - Torborg - Fregosi - LaRussa - Tanner   No cheating now!

Â Or did he just take the Yankees to the WS? Â Edit: Lemon was let go by the White Sox in 1978 and almost immediately went over to manage the Yankees. Yankees won the World Series in 1978, that was the Bucky Dent HR at Fenway year. Â So it's LaRussa, Tanner, and Lemon who managed a WS winner after being White Sox manager.

Lopez was a smart baseball man and a good game day strategist. He was also thin skinned and dictatorial. Still, all in all he did more with less for a longer period of time than any manager in my lifetime. For all his faults he is the best Sox manager in the last half century. Ozzie Guillen on the other hand is a disaster waiting to happen. I wish he would just put a muzzle on it for the rest of the season. Outspoken is one thing. What Ozzie sometimes does is quite another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossarian Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 06:47 PM) Al (The Senor) Lopez and Eddie (The Brat) Stanky. The Brat during 1967 was classic. Stanky calling Yaz an "all star from the neck down" wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do. Stanky could be very abrasive to the point that it hurt the team. Umpires and opponents just loved sticking to the "Brat". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) Bevington? Just kidding. It's nto goign to be a popular choice but as a 22 year old, I'll go with Torborg. That 1990 team was as fun of a team as I've seen and I think he was good with young players. He was kind of the early for of Ozzieball in Chicago   Bevington? HAH!!! I used to love watching his face turn red when he'd argue with the umpired. Looked like a big fat stop sign.

BobDylan Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 This may not be a popular reply, but I liked Jerry Manuel a lot. Yea, he f***ed the team on a consistant basis, but underneath all of that he was one hell of a man. I met him on several occasions and he even signed a baseball of mine with "God sees greatness in you." Â I respect the J-Man and hope he can find success elsewhere in the big leagues. Get him a power team with some good pitching and he's your man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
