We need a few more.

Joe Gordon

He was a player, not a manager with titles. Let's use Joe Torre's successor or similar era managers. Actually, let's look at the 1960s. Whitey Herzog won two with the Cardinals in 1982 and 1985. He revolutionized base-stealing and defense in St. Louis.

Gene Mauch

He never won a World Series. Let's use Jim Frey. He won one. Let's use Tony La Russa's assistant or similar. Actually, let's look at historical figures. Bucky Harris won with Senators and Yankees. We have him. What about Lou Piniella? He won one. Let's stick to the verified list. We have 14 strong entries. Let's add Whitey Herzog and maybe verify if anyone else fits. What about Bobby Cox? He has 3. Yes. Let's add a note on consistency.
