 * Keep One of the few times I think a player's minor league statistical record is notable. Nearly 3,000 hits, 27-year playing career. Add to that a 19-year managerial career to boot. Alex (talk) 00:51, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appears to be significant coverage of his career over a 15-year period.  Examples include 1940 article, 1943 article (New York Times), 1944 article, 1944 article (Christian Science Monitor), 1945 article, 2nd 1945 article, 1946 article, 1947 article, 2nd 1947 article, 3rd 1947 article, 1953 article, 1955 article, 2nd 1955 article. See also this book on baseball history in Minnesota.  And this book at p. 79 calls him "the greatest manager" in Hagerstown history. Cbl62 (talk) 05:29, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - quite side from the very nice arguments presented above, a record as a manager of winning three league championships (plus three other championship-final appearances) should be more than enough to establish notability for a manager at any level of professional baseball. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:07, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
