Grand Old Man of Baseball Connie Mack
Connie Mack, 86, legendary manager and owner of the Philadelphia Athletics since 1901, has guided nine pennants and five world titles. Known as Mr Baseball, he mentored stars like Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons, and Lefty Grove, ruling with an iron hand from the bench in a formal suit and stiff collar.
