Buck Showalter’s sole missing piece from what has otherwise been a Hall of Fame career is a World Series ring, which has eluded him time and time again.
Showalter is just a couple of wins away from his first-ever trip to the Fall Classic as his Baltimore Orioles prepare for Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.
Showalter was drafted by the New York Yankees in 1977, but he never made it to the main leagues.
After spending 12 years in the organization as a player and a coach in the minors, he took over the Yankees in 1992.
