McGraw always felt letting Edd Roush get away was the stupidest thing he ever did. No one is even mentioning Roush who was a fantastic player and eventual no-brainer for the Hall of Fame.
McGraw always claimed it was a clerical error that permitted Hack Wilson to be snatched away when the Giants failed to protect him. With his reputation for drinking you might wonder, as all his managers had a rough time dealing with him. When he went to the Cubs and did so well, everyone thought he had it under control but alas, he didn't. I think he died at a young age, didn't age?
