"In his (Hall of Fame Manager Joe McCarthy) living room there was nothing about baseball, except for two pictures. One was a picture of Lou Gehrig, with the words: 'May I always deserve your friendship.' The other was a picture of Connie Mack. On it Mr. Mack had penned a simple inscription: 'To a great manager and a great friend.' As (Williams) Ted look at Connie Mack's picture, McCarthy said, 'You are wrong about me, Ted. There was the greatest manager of all time.'" - Author Alan Howard Levy in Joe McCarthy: Architect of the Yankee Dynasty (McFarland Publishing, 03/29/2005, Page 384) [Connie Mack Quotes]
