Manager

Terry Francona (2004 - present)

422 wins and 304 losses (.581 winning percentage)

3 postseason appearances in 4 seasons

1 AL East title

2 World Series titles

Obvious choice. Only competition would be Bill Carrigan who won back to back World Series titles in 1915 and 1916.

These are the glory days of the Red Sox. Guiding the team to the title after 86 years of near misses ('46, '67, '75, '86), heartbreak ('78, '03), and mediocrity would be evidence enough but Francona has excelled.

He has never publicly admonished a player and in this day and age it has to be very difficult for him not to. Managing a major league team today has to be far more difficult than it was at any other time in the history of baseball. Agents, incentive based contracts, blogs, Baseball Tonight, Around the Horn, sports talk radio, "hamstring injuries", Bill James' stat analysis, language /cultural barriers, tv cameras and dozens of beat writers all make him earn his keep. Obviously, Francona has more time to add to his resume.

Terry Francona has been a perfect fit for the Red Sox and deserves to be the manager of this All Time Red Sox team.
