Don't get me wrong - Leyland had his moments as a manager, but I don't think his results are enough to merit induction. I love the guy, but there's no way he's a Hall of Famer.
My opinion: Jim Leyland is not a Hall of Famer.

Lucky Hall of Famer Number 62 - Jim Leyland
I've complained about Leyland before, and with good reason. His career winning percentage of .506 is way too low to be considered Hall-worthy. Unless there is something remarkable to offset such a winning percentage, such as a considerable impact on baseball history or a plethora of World Championships, it simply isn't a number that should earn a manager a place among baseball's all-time greats. With 1,769 wins, three pennants, and one World Championship, I don't think Leyland did enough to make up for it.
