Baseball has a recency bias. Sparky Anderson, Billy Martin and Earl Weaver are all at least as good as Cox and LaRussa.

I love Bobby Cox, but no way IMO does he deserve to be on this list.

The only baseball manager I would put in the top 10 is Joe McCarthy. Actually, he's probably the best coach/manager in the history of North American sports. There was a book written about the impact baseball managers have on their teams called "Evaluating Baseball’s Managers: A History and Analysis of Performance in the Major Leagues" by Chris Jaafe. McCarthy managed in the majors for 22.5 years. Over that stretch of time, McCarthy was worth 145 wins to his team. For comparison's sake, that's more wins than Babe Ruth was worth to his team during his career. It's more wins than Mickey Mantle, Tom Seaver and Bob Gibson was worth to their teams COMBINED. Essentially, McCarthy was such a brilliant strategic baseball mind that his impact on his team was comparable to having three HOF players for their entire careers. That's how good he was as a manager. The likes of LaRussa, Cox and every other manager in the history of baseball is galaxies behind McCarthy as a manager.
