Santo wasn't up for it this year. This year was non-player personell.

He's kind of on the outer edge when it comes to other HOF managers (only 1200 wins) but he was one of the earliest managers to concentrate on OBP, so I guess that counts for something.

I was wondering why MLB Network was playing The Sandberg Game today. Herzog was the St. Louis manager and Harvey was working Home that day.

He was a GM too.

We all know that Torre and Larussa are eventually going to the HoF as managers. That means, except for interim coaches, the Cardinals have only had three managers since 1981 and all of them have been HoFers.

 

Since 1981, again not counting interim managers, the Cubs have had 11. Piniella might be a HoFer. Everyone else... not so much. Of the 10 managers before Piniella, only Riggleman and Baker got another non-interim head coaching job.

And the interim coach between Herzog and Torre was Red Schoendienst, a Hall of Famer.

He was also a scout and a damn good one.

There is a borderline chance Baker makes it because people are stupid.
