"To me, the name of Connie Mack always has been synonymous with baseball, standing for everything that is best for the game he loved.” – Will Harridge.
Connie Mack was perhaps more synonymous with the team he managed than any skipper in baseball history.

During those five decades, Mack assembled two separate dynasties and won a total of nine AL pennants and five World Series titles.
