The worst Hall of Fame Yankees career

“Those who can’t do, teach” is a fairly famous saying. Bill McKechnie appears to have taken it to heart. After his playing career, McKechnie went on to be a Hall of Fame manager who won World Series championships with two different teams. Before that, his brief playing stint in New York was record-breakingly bad.

McKechnie came up with the Pirates as a 20-year-old in 1907 for a three-game stint. After going back to the minors for a couple years, he returned to Pittsburgh, and played there from 1910-1912. While in Pittsburgh, Honus Wagner took the infielder under his wing.
