content: Joe McCarthy had never played in the Major Leagues before managing the Chicago Cubs in 1926. Staying in Chicago for four years, he moved to the American League in 1931, joining the New York Yankees. In his fifteen-year tenure leading the "Bronx Bombers", McCarthy led seven New York teams to World Series Championships, including four in a row (1932, 1936-1939, 1941, 1943). In 1948 he assumed the helm of the Boston Red Sox, where he would stay for two years. Managing such Hall of Fame talents as Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams over the course of his career, McCarthy compiled a 2,125-1,333 win-loss record and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1957.
