  Joe McCarthy (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McCarthy returned as manager of the Boston Red Sox from 1948 to June 1950, but was unable to capture a pennant despite reaching a one-game playoff with the Cleveland Indians in 1948.
McCarthy utilized a low-key approach, never going to the mound to remove a pitcher or arguing with an umpire except on a point of the rules, preferring to stay at his seat in the center of the dugout.
McCarthy was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1957.

Fired by the Cubs following the 1930 season, McCarthy in 1931 assumed the helm of a Yankee team that regarded him as a National League interloper; many of the rollicking Yankee veterans thought Babe Ruth should be the manager, a point of view that Ruth himself did not discourage.
The war years were tough on McCarthy, and when Larry MacPhail became his boss in 1945, he didn't have the same rapport he had enjoyed with Ed Barrow.
