I guess it's more what recent manager retired for the most part on their own after a long career and didn't actually try to make a comeback. Leyland is the most recent I can think of.

Bobby Cox or Davey Johnson then

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.

Also Joe Torre

The answer is probably Bobby Cox but gently caress him

If only Bobby Cox (and Schuerholz) had stayed the gently caress out of the front office the Braves might not have had to torpedo the entire franchise or at least not go through so many years of Fredi.

I didn't realize that the Rangers GM Chris Young was the ex-MLB pitcher Chris Young (who played for Bochy as a Padre). That's two pretty tall dudes.

No I mean the Ricketts used to have a panel at the convention where they'd take fan questions. But during the '19 convention where the Cubs not only didn't even kick the tires on Harper, but did absolutely nothing with their biggest signing being Daniel Descalso, Tom got heckled by the audience after he cried poor as the reason for why they didn't make bigger moves. After that they canceled the panel and AFAIK it's never come back.

Cox is also a wifebeating POS who treated minority players differently and fully believed in unwritten rules bullshit.
