Giants Skipper Bruce Bochy Notches 2,000th Win As A Manager


CBS Sports reports:

There is a new member of the managerial 2,000-win club. 
This past Wednesday night at Fenway Park (SF 11, BOS 3), San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy notched the 2,000th win in what will soon be a Hall of Fame career. It is his 1,049th win with the Giants after 951 with the Padres. He is the 11th manager in history with 2,000 wins.
Here are the 11 members of the 2,000-win club:
  1. Connie Mack: 3,731 wins
  2. John McGraw: 2,763
  3. Tony La Russa: 2,728
  4. Bobby Cox: 2,504
  5. Joe Torre: 2,326
  6. Sparky Anderson: 2,194
  7. Bucky Harris: 2,158
  8. Joe McCarthy: 2,125
  9. Walter Alston: 2,040
  10. Leo Durocher: 2,008
  11. Bruce Bochy: 2,000
The first 10 men on the all-time wins list are in the Hall of Fame. Bochy will join them in Cooperstown soon enough even though he will retire with a losing record (currently 2,000-2,022). Bochy, Mack (3,731-3,948), and Harris (2,158-2,219) are the only managers with 2,000 wins and a career losing record.
Earlier this year Bochy, 64, announced he will retire following the season. He is the longest tenured manager in baseball. This is his 13th season with the Giants -- he was at the helm for the team's World Series championships in 2010, 2012, and 2014 -- after spending 12 years with San Diego. He's been managing since 1995.
