He was a great first baseman and one of the best managers ever. He won 9 fielding titles at first base and 3 penats as a manager. I would vote for him. Iam a huge Chicago Cubs fan.

He was a very special man from many perspectives, but people have a tendency to underestimate his contributions because he was such an affable character. He probably could have improved his statistics as well if he would have been more selective about how long he played and who he managed for -- but I don't think he was interested in history so much as living every day to the fullest. He was an excellent first baseman and helped solidify the Cubs infield that allowed them to win three Pennants. As a manager he was one of those rare men who was loved by his players as well as ownership. He was also part of special breed of men who played and managed at the same time. His 1945 Cubs were the last Pennant-winners for the franchise. He also was a superb Minor League Manager and in addition to the Cubs managed the Boston/Milwaukee Braves. He was a larger than life guy who lightened things up for everyone around him. He was well-liked and sought after by both Wrigley and Veeck. When you look at his contribution to baseball as a manager and player, it's pretty special. We have been looking into Grimm’s life and career as part of a book project.
