Jim Leyland, who guided the Marlins to their first World Series title as part of his 22-year career as an MLB manager, has been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Leyland, 78, managed in the big leagues for 22 seasons with the Pirates (1986-96), Marlins (1997-98), Rockies (1999) and Tigers (2006-2013). He won 1,769 games - second all-time among managers who never played in the big leagues, trailing only Hall of Famer Joe McCarthy - and three pennants in addition to the 1997 World Series title with the Marlins. He was also a three-time Manager of the Year winner (with the Pirates in 1990 and 1992 as well as the Tigers in 2006).
