Joe McCarthy was headed towards a career as a plumber - until the
parish priest intervened, and convinced McCarthy's mother that he
could make more of himself in baseball. She relented, and Joseph
Vincent McCarthy embarked on a career that ranks him among the
greatest managers ever. In 24 years his teams took nine pennants,
seven World Series titles, and never finished lower than fourth.
This biography of Joe McCarthy details the 90-year life of one of
the greatest managers in baseball's history. Baseball was
McCarthy's ticket out of a working-class existence in Germantown,
Pennsylvania, taking him to college, the minor leagues, managerial
stints in baseball's backwaters, and on to remarkable years with
the Yankees, Cubs and Red Sox - years filled with triumph and
heartbreak. Seven championships and the highest managerial winning
percentage ever earned him entry to the Hall of Fame, but McCarthy
will always be remembered for his deft handling of his players.
McCarthy's ability to handle even ""unmanageable"" players won him
the respect of all. His effect on the lives of his young charges
was, in his mind, his greatest legacy.
