Former Pirate manager Murtaugh on Hall of Fame Ballot

Danny Murtaugh, the manager of the 1960 and 1971 World Series winning Pirates teams, is one of 10 people who is eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame this year via the Golden Days Committee.

Murtaugh managed the Pirates for 15 years over four different stints from 1957 to 1976, compiling a 1,115-950 record. Hall of Famer Fred Clarke is the only Pirate to manage the team longer or win more games with the club.

Murtaugh is the only Pirate manager to win two World Series and four division titles with the team, overseeing seven-game series victories over the Yankees in 1960 and Orioles in 1971.
