There are currently 23 managers in the baseball Hall of Fame; 12 have been elected since 1990. As Tucsonan Terry Francona departs for spring training next month, his third year as Cleveland’s manager, he has 1,206 managerial victories and two World Series championships. He is 55. He is now in the conversation as a Hall of Fame manager; San Francisco’s Bruce Bochy, with three World Series titles, has won 1,618 games. The only other managers with more victories than Francona are the Angels’ Mike Scioscia, 1,331; and the Orioles’ Buck Showalter, 1,259.
