Anybody wants to compare Farces with real giants of managing?
Some people refer to Tony Larusa as one of the best Managers ever.Recently somebody even said that he has won pennants without good players.I invite you to check the rosters of CWS,Oakland A's and the Cardinals that he has managed.A real GIANT of Managing is Whitey Herzog. Won 1982 World Series with a team That only Had 3 pitchers in double figures( none more than 15 wins ) only 67 Homers and only one hitter above .300( Lonnie Smith .306 ) 1985 NL Champions -87 homeruns and only two hitters above .300 ( Tommy Herr and Willie McGee ) 1987 NL Champions-94 homers and none of his pitchers won more than 11 games. The Master of the double switch and the person responsible of the measures taken to rise the umpires quality standards with his proper and rightful claims. Managing Kansas City and the Cardinals, The best manager I have ever seen bringing the best out of his players.Larusa will have to die and live againg several lives to come close to what Herzog achieve in his carrier.
