In his 12 seasons he finished first 5 times and second twice.

It wasn't good enough for the HOF, surprsingly to me.

If he hadn't had health issues and had managed longer, he would be in the HOF. Same for Gil Hodges, I don't think he gets enough respect for his managing ability. He improved the Senators from 56 wins to 76. Then the Mets from 61 wins to 100 and a championship.
