	How did I forget "The Lip"?

	Where's Billy Martin?

	Antithesys:	Feb 7th, 2009 at 05:32 GMT	5 points
	Billy Martin won somewhere around 1200. He skippered for about twenty seasons but remember only half of those were full seasons due to his tendency to get pink-slipped by the Boss. Most of the guys on this list owe their records to longevity (which is a sign of a good manager, coaching well enough to keep your job)...Connie Mack managed the Athletics for fifty years.

	I knew #1 managed for over 50 years, but wow. Almost 1000 more than #2.

	HoosierDaddy:	Feb 7th, 2009 at 06:56 GMT	4 points
	In fact, just looke it up. #1 had a career win pct. of .481

	#1 owned the team. He managed some of the worst and best teams in history as he would build these amazing teams, then sell off all his star players.

	Winningest is a word. So is losingest. Also #6 is Bucky, not Buck...

	`Winningest' — love it! grin

	To Hal: Except that I don't think the A's had much of a team for the last 20 or so years that Mack was in charge. I think the team that made the World Series three years in a row from 29-31 was the last hurrah for the A's in Philadelphia. They were pretty inept for the rest of Mack's tenure, the moved to Kansas City in the early 50's if I remember correctly.

	I can't believe Cito Gaston is not on here

	RyanUR:	Feb 7th, 2009 at 15:02 GMT	4 points
	@joeblow: Cito only has 753. Long way to go, but he does have two rings.

	Billy Martin won 1,253 games to put him in 32nd place all time. Alcohol cost him a better career and a spot in Cooperstown. Just behind Tanner in 26th place is Tigers skipper Jim Leyland with 1,326 wins, so this list should change the first half of this season. The next highest active manager is Dusty Baker of the Reds. He is tied for 34th with Joe Cronin with 1,236. If he avoids getting fired he might get in the top 25 in late 2010. A losingest manager quiz would be fun, but we'd see mostly the same names.

	Also, Mack was not really in charge for the last 10 years or so. I think he just sort of sat on the bench and his sons (or some other coaches) were really running the team.

	Bretzky:	Feb 8th, 2009 at 04:05 GMT	-1 points
	Is it just me, or does Connie Mack look an awful lot like Sam Elliott?

	Chris :	Feb 8th, 2009 at 21:19 GMT	2 points
	Hey Ben, the manager with 1406 wins needs an alternate spelling because his nickname is not spelled with an ie. It ends with a Y. Just a little bit of info for you, it could help some people that spell it a different way.

	dang ... missed the second i in the guy with 1701

	Darn it, if only I could spell Piniella...

	I was surprised Whitey Herzog wasn't on here. He won four division titles with the Royals in a 6-year span and took them to the 1980 series, then went to the Cards and had a lot of success, including a loss in the 1985 series to his former team. He won a lot, but I guess he didn't stay in the game long enough.

	Winningest is certainly not a word. It is a frightful arse-rape of the English language.

	ojoe:	Dec 13th, 2009 at 21:50 GMT	4 points
	This one needs to be updated. Jim Leyland now has 1,412 wins.

	CoachWall:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 01:21 GMT	4 points
	Nice quiz, but you need to make it current. Jim Leyland has cracked the list.

	woods:	May 22nd, 2010 at 19:04 GMT	1 point
	I'm willing to bet nearly everyone who got Wilbert Robinson was thinking Frank. I'm surprised the Judge barely cracked 1000.

	cmkeller:	Aug 4th, 2010 at 19:24 GMT	2 points
	@ClintT13: Herzog didn't manage the Royals in 1980, that was Jim Frey.

	exapno:	Sep 19th, 2010 at 23:36 GMT	2 points
	The most interesting case here is Houk - surrounded on the list by HOF members, he won four pennants his first four years - and WS the first 2, made some mediocre late 60s/early 70s Yankee teams better than they should have been, and helped build both the good early 80's Tiger teams AND late 80's Red Sox teams - but yet has never even CONSIDERED for the HOF....very odd... But a guy like Herzog who won only ONE WS gets in....with FAR less career wins...

	exapno:	Sep 19th, 2010 at 23:37 GMT	1 point
	It should also be noted that Mack OWNED the team, and McGraw has serious financial interest in the Giants...

	Last names don't work. Makes Quiz very unenjoyable.

	haha, I didn't look at where is said wins, and I thought that the hint was the year, and I thought to myself, "2151?" hahaa

	purplebackpack89:	Apr 17th, 2011 at 02:31 GMT	1 point
	can't believe i got 10 right and still had a better score than 70-80% of the ppl

	oh_Neville:	Apr 17th, 2011 at 16:51 GMT	1 point
	Put me in the crowd with people shocked Billy Martin didn't make the list. Huh. And please update now that Jim Leyland is in!

	slk0814:	Sep 29th, 2011 at 01:41 GMT	2 points
	The one missing that surprised me was Whitey Herzog. With all the great Royals and Cardinals teams he managed in the 70's & 80's, I would've thought he'd have had more than 1200 wins.
