Bill Terry of the New York baseball Giants played in the 1920's and 1930's for the famed baseball Giant manager John McGraw. Over his fourteen year career he was a .341 hitter, but that doesn't tell the whole story. With the Giants in 1925 he hit .319 and in the next eleven years he hit over .300 except for one season. In 1930, he set a National League record by hitting .401. Strangely he and McGraw had a dispute and did not speak to each other for a year and a half. With that said, when McGraw retired he named Bill Terry to replace him as a player/manager. Under Terry's leadership, the Giants won two pennants and one Wold Series. That victory came over the Washington Senators. He retired as a player/manager in 1936, but continued as manager until 1941. He was a truly great player and manager. The position of player/manager is an extremely tough job.
