I have his rookie manager card; he's wearing a black cap which I think is another teams cap and they marked over it in black.

Tough call.I'll go with Sparky homerism.
Torre is damn good though.We all know how hard it is for managers in NY having to deal with Steinbrenners nonsense all the time.Also,even though Torre's teams were loaded with bought talent ,it is very hard to get big egos to play together,which he did.
I also think Leyland and Alou are very good.They did pretty good with very little talent most of the time.

glad to see I'm not the only homer who voted Sparky...but seriously, nobody has a snowball's chance in hell of being the mgr Spark was...

Someone needs to do a "worst" manager thread and Larussa would win hands down, Larussa has done less with more than any manager in the history of MLB

Bobby Cox is an interesting guy because all those years with a stacked team they didnt win many titles (other than division) but in the same time he has turned a lot of nothing into a good team the last 3-4 years and somehow kept that long ass division winning streak alive.
