About
John Joseph McGraw was born in Truxton, New York, USA. He was an American Major League Baseball player and manager of the New York Giants. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1937. While primarily a third baseman throughout his career, he also played shortstop and the outfield in the major leagues. His total of 2,763 victories in that capacity ranks second overall behind only Connie Mack; he still holds the National League record with 2,669 wins in the senior circuit. He is widely held to be "the best player to become a great manager" in the history of baseball.
