Best Answer

If you are talking about the Big Leagues, your answer is Frank Robinson when he took over the Cleveland Indians in 1976. He became a rather successful manager who was most recently managing the Montreal Expos when they moved to Washington DC. He never won a World Series as a manager but as a player he became the only player to be MVP in both the American and National Leagues and formed part of the great Orioles tems of the late 1960's and won a triple crown in 1966 and a World Series ring that very same year. Robinson forms part of the baseball Hall of Fame and is part of the 500 home run club. In short he was one of the best players ever as well as a good manager.
