Bobby Cox - 4th all-time in wins, 5 pennants, 1 World Series title, more playoff appearances as a manager than anyone else

Tommy John - 288 wins, 2245 strikeouts, 62.3 WAR, revolutionized the ability to repair pitching injuries

Tony LaRussa - 3rd all-time in wins, 6 pennants, 3 World Series titles

Marvin Miller - a true baseball pioneer, transformed the MLBPA into a powerhouse

Joe Torre - 5th all-time in wins, 6 pennants, 4 World Series titles; as a player: 57.4 WAR, 129 OPS+
