Jacob Ruppert; Joe McCarthy

New York Yankees owner Colonel Jacob Ruppert, left, congratulates Joe McCarthy at Yankee Stadium, July 16, 1935, following the announcement that McCarthy had been signed as manager of the Yankees -- a job Babe Ruth wanted -- for two more years. McCarthy soon rewarded Ruppert's confidence with four consecutive world championships, from 1936 to 1939. McCarthy's seven world championships are a record shared only with another Yankees manager, Casey Stengel. McCarthy was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1957. (AP Photo/Anthony Camerano)
