I think I wrote about it in an earlier installment, but the most handsome manager like 25 years ago would be at the bottom of the list now. Just a total sea change in managerial handsomeness in our lifetime. Surprisingly few people talk about this important development.

Twenty five years ago we had Bochy already looking like Bochy, and a more healthy Francona.
We had the better looking Bob instead of the lesser Aaron Boone - no implied comment on the handsomeness of Mrs Boone. And speaking of fathers and sons, IтАЩd suggest Buddy would rank ahead of David Bell.
Now of course DaveтАЩs Johnson, Tom Kelly (especially with the indoor / outdoor tinted glasses) Gene LaMont, and Jimy Williams werenтАЩt on the top of the list; however Joe Torre grew into his own, looking much better at 60 than 25. And Bobby Valentine was a hunk oтАЩ burning looks!
One of my favorite games to play with my wife when I'm reading about old-timey baseball is to have her guess the ages of people based on what they look like in photos and it'll always be some photo of like Grover Cleveland Alexander looking like he's 78 when he's actually 21. In conclusion, it's amazing what a difference sunscreen and brushing your teeth make.

But surely in any era, no one would call Casey Stengel handsome.
I donтАЩt know. Winning puts a spring in your step.
The real question is how you rank Billy Martin. DonтАЩt want him to hulk out.

Is this the same Bruce Bochy that managed the Padres in 1998, or is he related to that guy?
