Lou Piniella - 11 votes (.688) 

Bill White - 10 votes (.625) 

Cito Gaston, Davey Johnson, Joe West, Ed Montague, Hank Peters - fewer than 5 votes each 


Aw man... another unworthy Hall of Fame manager. Jim Leyland achieved moderate success as a manager, but the Hall has way too many managers already, and we didn't need another one with a .506 winning percentage. At any rate, I would have really liked to see Bill White get in, and I'd want to see Joe West eventually get in, but that's just the way it goes.

  1. I agree. While he may have been a 3-time manager of the year, he still shouldn't be in with that Win%. The Hall already has too many unworthy faces in it. Why just add one more? (Sorry Jim)
