The active manager with over 500 wins that has the highest winning percentage is Charlie Manuel of the Philadelphia Phillies. Manuel has a career record of 764-618, good for a 55.3% win percentage. Ron Gardenhire of the Twins has a winning percentage of 55.0%.
I am personally rooting for Gardy. Not only do we share the same first name, but he is the manager of my home team. Although I am afraid this year gonna be hard on him.
Ron- I’m surprised his tenure has been as long as it is. It’s tough to win, but his teams have been stagnant for years and years.
Well I do think he is a good manager. There have been tons of injuries over the years to key players, and management has not always signed the best free agents. So he is only able to work with the players he has.
Ron- you’re right, I am just surprised that management has not pointed the finger in his direction…
I’m guessing this stat is 500 wins with the team he is currently managing, and not overall?
Girardi has a 57% win percentage with 557 wins, but hasn’t reached 500 yet with NY.
TheLostCollector- You are correct!
