Billy Southworth was the most successful major league baseball
manager of the 1940s including the three straight years in which
his St. Louis Cardinal teams won more than 100 games. He won three
National League pennants with the Cardinals and one with the Boston
Braves, and his .597 winning percentage is the fifth highest in
baseball history. But Southworth was dogged by demons off the
field, including the deaths of three children. On the field, his
achievements were minimised by many because they occurred during
the war years when the baseball talent level was below par. When he
finally got top recognition, being elected to the Hall of Fame in
2007, the honour occurred 38 years after his death.
