As a player, he played from 1956-1976, mainly with the Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles. As an Oriole, he was MVP of the 1966 World Series as they swept the Dodgers. He later managed said team, and even won the American League Manager Of The Year award in 1989. He later managed the Montreal Expos and remained manager of that franchise as it moved to Washington, DC, in 2005 and became the Nationals. (That same year, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by George W. Bush.)
He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1982, his first year of eligibility.
