context_page_description: Theodore Amar Lyons was an American professional baseball starting pitcher, manager and coach in Major League Baseball. He played in 21 MLB seasons, all with the Chicago White Sox. He is the franchise leader in wins. Lyons won 20 or more games three times and became a fan favorite in Chicago.
  He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955. He has the third-highest career ERA of any Hall of Fame pitcher. He is also the only Hall of Fame pitcher to have more walks than strikeouts.
context_section_description: Lyons succeeded Dykes as the White Sox manager in May 1946 after an apparent contract dispute between Dykes and Grace Comiskey. He had less success as a manager than he had as a player, guiding them to a meager 185–245 record. Lyons resigned as manager in October 1948.
  Lyons coached the pitchers for the Detroit Tigers (1949–52) and Brooklyn Dodgers (1954).
