MLB: Five Managers that Could Make the Hall of Fame

Looking at five active MLB managers who are on a path to be inducted into the Hall of Fame after retirement.

Being a manager in Major League Baseball is no easy profession. The ups and downs that come with a 162-game season often lead to short careers, but there are some managers who embrace the process and become great.

There are the legendary managers, such as Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, John McGraw and Joe Torre, who have seen their legends grow the longer they have been away from the game.

It is hard to look at active managers who have had success and look at them as all-time legends, but there are a certain few who stand out as not only some of the best managers in the game today, but as some of the best managers in the history of the league.

While the managers on this list already have impressive resumes, there is still a ways to go before they are sure to be elected into the Hall. But based on their accomplishments to date, it would take an unfortunate change of events to have any of the five lose the MLB Hall of Fame potential.

The first manager on the list can make his case by breaking a curse that some may see as permanent.
