My Take
What draws me to Buck Showalter is that he was never the glamour hire. Across the Yankees, Diamondbacks, Rangers, Orioles, and Mets, he kept getting handed franchises that needed rebuilding, and he kept laying the groundwork. He rarely got to lift the trophy himself, yet teams improved under his watch with almost uncanny regularity. I find that quietly admirable. Coming out of small-town DeFuniak Springs and Mississippi State, he built a career on baseball intelligence rather than star power. To me he embodies the unsung craftsman every sport secretly depends on, and I respect him deeply for it.
