About Jim Leyland

When Jim Leyland took over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Nov. 20, 1985, he entered his first big league managerial job with a one-year contract and a team coming off a 104-loss season.

When Leyland walked away from his last job as a big league manager in 2013, he owned three Manager of the Year Awards, a 1997 World Series championship ring and the respect of nearly everyone in baseball. Now, he has a place in Cooperstown.
