- Tony La Russa earned a law degree shortly before assuming managerial duties with the Chicago White Sox in 1979.

- John McGraw was notorious for frequently clashing with umpires, having been ejected from 121 games during his career managing the Orioles and Giants (1899-1932).

- Bobby Cox managed the Atlanta Braves from 1990 to 2010, winning an impressive 14 division titles and capturing the World Series championship in 1995.

- Joe Torre was the only major leaguer to achieve both 2,000 hits as a player (1960-1977) and 2,000 wins as a manager (1977-2010).

- Sparky Anderson was the first manager in baseball history to win a World Series in both the American and National Leagues (Detroit in 1984 and Cincinnati in 1975 & 1976).

- Dusty Baker was a part of the first "high five" on Oct 2, 1977, between him and LA Dodger teammate Glenn Burke. After Baker hit his 30th home run of the season, Burke met him at home plate with his hand held high over his head and Baker smacked it, later saying "It seemed like the thing to do.".
