Italian Managers obviously rule.
With that said, congratulations Terry Francona for getting by Mike Scoscia, Joe Torre and Tony LaRussa in bringing the World Championship to Drunken Beantown, USA.

Just to backtrack a bit:
When A-Rod left Seattle, the Mariners won 116 games.
When A-Rod left last place Texas, the Rangers became a contender.
When A-Rod joined the $183 Million Dollar Yankees, they achieved the greatest collapse in MLB history.
Happy Halloween George.
