CONNIE MACK

Connie Mack (born Cornelius McGillicuddy) was an American professional baseball catcher, manager and team owner from 1886 to 1950s. He is the longest-serving manager in Major League Baseball history, and holds records for wins, losses, and games managed. His victory total is almost 1000 more than any other manager. Mack managed the Philadelphia Athletics for the club's first 50 seasons of play, starting in 1901, before retiring at the age of 87 following the 1950 season, and was at least part-owner from 1901 to 1954. He is the only manager to win consecutive World Series on separate occasions, and his five Series titles remain the third most by any manager. Mack was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York in 1937. He passed away in 1956 at the age of 83.
