Decent looking guy who didn't say anything inflammatory to the national media and was in the dugout when some good teams were winning despite him.
Hell, Joe Torre got in the HOF on the strength of Stick Mitchell's farm system and Don Zimmer telling him when to pull his head from his ass, and I saw him do the single most braindead thing I've ever seen from a manager as late as 2008.
