Player Biography
“There has been only one manager, and his name is John McGraw,” Hall of Fame manager Connie Mack once declared. McGraw was a fiery third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles in the 1890s, but he achieved much more recognition as an innovative, autocratic field manager. In his 31 years at the helm of the New York Giants, McGraw’s teams won 10 pennants, finished second 11 times and won three World Series titles. “Little Napoleon” finished his career with 2,840 managerial wins. As a player, he was credited with helping to develop the hit-and-run, the “Baltimore chop,” the squeeze play and other strategic moves.
