The Resume

    (July 18, 1940- )
    Baseball Catcher/First Baseman/Third Baseman/Outfielder/Coach/Manager
    Played for the Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets
    Won the N.L. M.V.P. (1971)

Why he might be annoying:

    Before he became the New York Yankee manager, he lost 109 more games than he had won (November, 1995).
    In his first week as the Yankee manager, he continued losing and prompted a NY Daily News headline, 'Clueless Joe' (1996).

Why he might not be annoying:

    His managerial success has come as a New York Yankee.
    He is the first manager in 40 years to win 4 World Series in 5 years (since Casey Stengel - 1960).
    He is the only manager to win 14 straight World Series games (1996 - 2000).
    It is rare that any of his players (past or present) badmouth him.
