	Management by Baseball
		Beyond baseball, an organization that took the trouble to engage in close assessment of the talent at hand would make a point of knowing who else on staff might be able to complement or fill in for a struggling team member.
		Baseball fans - and sportswriters - who are not oriented toward statistical analysis tend to have a fixation with the concept of “clutch hitting”.
		John McLaren as a bench coach owned the traditional "Mom" role -- it was his job to show warmth, interact a lot with each individual, freeing his manager to be somewhat aloof and without the need to get involved with every emotional hangnail every player had.

	TheDeadballEra.com :: BAD TO THE BONE: JOHN McGRAW
		John McGraw was a fiery, hard-hitting third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles in the 1890's, one of the most notorious teams in Major League history.
		McGraw began his managing career as the Orioles' player-manager, but when Baltimore was deleted from the NL in 1900 he was sold along with two other players to St. Louis for $15,000, where he batted.344 in only 99 games.
		McGraw to his players and "Mugsy" to his enemies, he applied the tactics of the old Orioles, the tactics of inside baseball, the hit-and-run, the stolen base, the scientific game to achieve success.

	CNN.com - The ruffian and the college boy - Apr 26, 2005
		McGraw is the immigrant fighting his way to the American Dream; Mathewson is the educated, athletic, well-comported soul, the model -- almost literally, for he personified that early clean-cut literary hero Frank Merriwell -- for the all-American boy.
		McGraw was a player before he was a manager, and the team he played for -- the 1890s Baltimore Orioles -- was known as the fiercest, brashest group in the National League.
		By 1900, McGraw was one of the best-known sports figures in the country (and brighter than his rough reputation would suggest), but that was a mixed blessing, for his sport did not carry the regard it would later gain.

	John McGraw \| BaseballLibrary.com
		McGraw was notorious for blocking, tripping, or otherwise obstructing the baserunners while the lone umpire watched the flight of the ball.
		McGraw responds to Dreyfuss' complaint by stating that NL President Pulliam could not "forget his former role as the secretary to Dreyfuss." A meeting of the Leagues directors results in a $150 fine and 15-day suspension for McGraw, but John Brush immediately gets a Superior Court injunction blocking the suspension and further hearings exonerate McGraw.
		In September, McGraw will send Chase and Heinie Zimmerman home without explanation; during the investigation of the Black Sox scandal in 1920, McGraw will testify that the dismissal was because both players had thrown games and tried to enlist Fred Toney and Benny Kauff in their scheme.

	John McGraw : Hall of Famer : HistoricBaseball.com
		The greatest contrast to McGraw, who as manager became known as the ''Little Napoleon,'' is Connie Mack, who always sat in civilian clothes while managing the Philadelphia Athletics.
		In his playing days, baseball generally observed a strict wall in that regard, and were strictly told not to have relationships with them.
		McGraw, while having a hugely successful career as both a player and manager, stands without equal in having made it seem okay for players to associate with gamblers.

	John McGraw Comes to New York
		John McGraw was one of the most successful baseball managers ever, leading the New York Giants to ten pennants in his thirty years with the club.
		John T. Brush sold most of his stock in the Reds in August, and a few days later was made managing director of the Giants.
		McGraw, in her biography of her husband, claimed that the jump to New York was part of a plan between McGraw, Freedman, Brush, and Ban Johnson to put an AL team in New York, but she offers no evidence to support this notion.

	Amazon.com: John McGraw: Books: Charles C. Alexander (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		McGraw was so outsized, flamboyant, fiery, and, at times, sentimental, that it would be easy to caricature him; Alexander's remarkable achievement here is that he doesn't (nor does he succumb to hero worship or bubble bursting).
		McGraw's career is a story of two baseball eras: its rowdy early days and the cool, corporate operations of post-World War I. McGraw's constant umpire baiting, penchant for inspiring either hatred or loyalty, and bond with star pitcher Christy Mathewson through many championship years, reveal a fiery, dictatorial, and brilliant man. Highly recommended.
		McGraw was not only a very complex individual, but a great study into the inside workings of a man who just hated to lose.

	John McGraw \| The BASEBALL Page
		John McGraw was one of the most influential figures in baseball history.
		McGraw was sort of the Billy Martin of his day, fighting anyone he had to wherever he had to.
		According to authors Nicholas Acocella and Donald Dewey ("The Black Prince of Baseball: Hal Chase and the Mythology of Baseball"), McGraw, not Hal Chase, is the prime candidate for the most crooked man in baseball during the Deadball Era.

	John McGraw
		But his forte was as a manager, especially as an assessor of baseball talent and a manipulator of players.
		And he was one of the first managers to develop the concept of relief pitching, using Claude Elliott, Doc Crandall and George Ferguson in that capacity to great effect.
		No manager won more games than McGraw's 2,784 except for Connie Mack, who helmed the A's for 50 years with a sub-.500 record.

	Amazon.com: My Thirty Years in Baseball: Books: John Joseph McGraw (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		One of the most colorful, fiery, and pugnacious men ever to wear a uniform, McGraw was a terror both on the field as star third baseman of the old Baltimore Orioles and particularly in the dugout as manager of the Giants and architect of their dynasty.
		Yet this is a sanitized memoir for an era that wasn't interested in peeking behind closed doors and exposing human foibles; the McGraw flame is held to, at most, a low burn.
		As Charles C. Alexander, who penned the introduction here, made clear in his scrupulous biography, John McGraw, a master strategist and showman like McGraw needs a lot more room to maneuver.
