LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Three legendary managers who combined for 7,558 wins and eight World Series championships are entering the Hall of Fame together.
Contemporaries Tony La Russa, Bobby Cox and Joe Torre, who rank third, fourth and fifth, respectively, on the career list for managerial victories, were elected unanimously to the Hall on Monday by the expansion-era committee.
All three managers surpassed 2,000 wins, a magical figure of sorts because no manager with at least that many has been excluded from the Hall.
Longtime players union head Marvin Miller, who came up a vote short of the 12 required from a 16-person panel during the last expansion-era balloting three years ago, failed to get elected on his sixth time on the ballot. Miller died in November 2012.
Iconic New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who died in 2010, wasn't elected either.

Still no Marvin Miller.
Fucking disgrace.
 
 
edit....although he says he doesn't want to be in and his family is still standing by those wishes.

Marvin hasn't said much of anything in the past year or so.

Very true....you'd think I'd be able to write about someone in the past tense...however, it is not to be.
