Not a great talent as a player, but as a manager, Durocher won pennants with the Dodgers in the late forties, then won pennants with the Giants in 1951 and 1954, even though the Dodgers had far superior talent. In the fifty four world series, his Giants beat the heavily favored Cleveland Indians in four straight games.
I believe the 1954 World Series was the only one Durocher ever won as a manager. It’s ironic that a guy who was such a fixture in Dodger history never won a championship with them, but did win one while managing their hated cross-town rivals. LOL.
