When MLB Managers Were Players

All managers listed have played in at least 300 major league games.

Though many younger baseball fans associate Joe Torre strictly with his success as Yankees manager, the current Dodgers skipper spent 18 seasons as a player for four teams. He was a nine-time all star, a Gold Glove winner and the 1971 NL MVP. Before taking over as the Yankees skipper in 1996, Torre managed the Mets (1977-81), the Braves (1982-84) and the Cardinals (1990-95). In 12 seasons in the Bronx, Torre compiled a 1,173-767 record with four World Series titles.
