My Take
John McGraw is one of those figures who genuinely shaped what baseball became, and I find myself more impressed the more I learn about him. As a third baseman for the scrappy 1890s Baltimore Orioles, he helped popularize the hit-and-run, the squeeze bunt, and the kind of relentless, heads-up play that teams today still aspire to. Then as manager of the New York Giants for nearly three decades, he won ten National League pennants and three World Series titles — that's a body of work that holds up in any era. He was famously combative, feuding with umpires and rivals alike, but that fire was inseparable from his genius. Born into poverty in rural New York in 1873 and gone by 1934, he packed an extraordinary baseball life into sixty years. A Hall of Famer through and through.
