The list starts with Casey.

Chuck Tanner and Earl Weaver would be on my list with Sparky Anderson and Joe Torre as well.

[jjgold]

I say Billy Martin

[Chi_archie]

Earl Weaver-tons of great stories about this guy and his temper, but he was also ahead of his time with alot of inovative ideas for baseball...moneyball stuff before there was moneyball

John Mcgraw

Connie Mack---just the fact that he managed at such an old age, and had so much respect

Jim Leyland-loved him when he managed the pirates as I was growing up, kinda guy that you'd love to have a beer and a cigerrette or 20 with.

Leo the lip Durocher-another with tons of great stories, and a guy that hangs out with mobsters and rat pack after games has to be pretty cool.... read a few of his books, they are good.

the year where the Cubs had like a revolving 6-headed manager...that was kinda cool

Lee Elia-just for this rant alone....

my favorite MLB manager moment ever was when Lloyd MCclendon stole 2nd base and took it with him after being ejected...I was at that game.

Gotta go with Yogi. Granted, he wasn't a manager for long, but everyone uses Yogi-isms now. A lot of people who use 'em aren't even baseball fans and don't know where they came from.
