Active MMDA Manager Register 2018

A complete statistical record for the MMDA goes back to 1995. That's the line of demarcation I used to create our league's all-time managerial register.

Managers are ranked by Fibonacci win points. This concept was introduced by Bill James in his book Whatever Happened To The Hall Of Fame? It balances teams' win totals with their winning percentage to arrive at one pleasing number.

The formula is simply wins (times) winning percentage (plus) wins (minus) losses. So rather than rank managers by total wins or by winning percentage, I chose to rank them by Fibonacci win points to balance quality (winning percentage) and quantity (career wins).

Note the return of Jeff Olson and subtraction of Mike Johnson in this year's register. Jeff previously managed in the MMDA from 2002 to 2004 and from 2007 to 2012 before returning in 2018 with a playoff team.

Remember, this data covers the 1995 through 2018 seasons.

James Bailey won his 2,000th game in 2018. Matt Eddy can reach 1,500 by winning at least 80 games in 2019.
 
In the sample period, John Tresca has won the most division titles with 10. Next on the list are Matt Eddy and Ray Ross (seven each), James Bailey (five), John Lamanna (four) and Steve Frediani and Jeff Olson (three each).

Playoff Manager Register

Now we turn to postseason records for all active managers during the 1995 to 2018 period. Managers are ranked by Fibonacci win points.

Key to categories: Series—playoff series won. Pennants—World Series appearances. Rings—World Series won.
