With the new coaching system, it is now possible to sign managers the way we do players. For my alternate history league, for instance, it would be really cool to let GMs sign Casey Stengel, Alvin Dark, Walter Alston, and Ralph Houk, or for a latter era LaRussa, Herzog, and Lasorda.

Does anyone have good data with which to create managing profiles for historical managers?

The obvious things to look at would be SB attempts, pinch AB, and SHs for batters, and innings/start and number of pitchers/games to come up with hook ratings and such. Parsing the managers tendencies from the team stats will be well-nigh impossible, but nevertheless it would be fun to have these guys in historical sims.
