All-Time J.M. Team


Bill Dean of Cooperstown, NY submits this fine assemblage.  He tells us, “No set of initials boasts more members of the Hall of Fame than ‘J.M.’  Included among the eight are the two most successful managers (by W-L differential) of all time.  Others with those initials help fill out a strong lineup (which won’t have to defer to the weak bench very often) and a formidable pitching staff.  For example, Juan Marichal ranks only fifth on the team in victories!
