True. Plus people are always claiming "so-and-so is a better manager," but when you look at the numbers or the analysis, Cox is the best of all the current managers. This is not that LaRussa and Torre aren't darned good managers, because they are, just that the numbers and the analysis tells you who the best one is.

As I said at the beginning, you are looking at a future legend. I had the same thought when I was watching Billy Martin and Earl Weaver manage (they are my two favorite managers of all time).
