Miller Huggins

Ruth did not challenge Huggins' authority again. His mother was a native of Cincinnati. For the slugging Yankees of the 1920s he recruited power hitters and consistent (as opposed to brilliant) pitchers.

He played semi-professional and minor league baseball from 1898 through 1903 at which time he signed with the Reds. Miller James Huggins (March 27 1879 – September 25 1929) was an American professional baseball player and manager.
