10 Greatest Managerial Finales Ever

This is going to be one of the greatest seasons in baseball history for managerial departures. I talked about waves of managerial retirement in my book "Evaluating Baseball's Managers, 1876-2008" - (purchase it and find out why Howard Megdal said: "You can’t open this book without learning new information about a group that has, to an extent far beyond that of pitchers and hitters, been subject to mere speculation in the realm of evaluation. A must-read)" - and figured the greatest moments for skipper departures came in 1920, 1950-51 and 1976. Depending on how things work out, 2010 could be the greatest retirement year for baseball managers ever.
