My Take
Mike Scioscia is, to me, the very definition of organizational gravity. Managing the Angels from 2000 through 2018 and winning Manager of the Year in 2002, he built a tenure almost unheard of in modern sports, where managers are usually disposable. The nickname "El Jefe" fits: you do not last that long without earning real trust from players and ownership alike. I see his blue-collar Upper Darby roots in his unglamorous, steady leadership. He is the sort of baseball mind I deeply respect, a man who understood the long game on and off the field.
