 | | Gene William Mauch (November 18, 1925 – August 8, 2005) was an American Major League Baseball player and manager, and the holder of the record for most seasons managed without a pennant (breaking the record formerly held by Jimmy Dykes). |
 | | Born in Salina, Kansas, Mauch was a strong advocate of "little ball", or an emphasis on basic fundamentals such as bunting, sacrifice plays, and other ways of advancing runners, as opposed to trying to score runs primarily through slugging. |
 | | Mauch died at age 79 at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California from lung cancer. |
