Would an assistant coach have a shot at making the MLB Hall of Fame based on his coaching career?
The person I'm thinking of is Leo Mazzone the Braves pitching coach.

IMO Don Zimmer would go in before Leo based on the number of World Championship teams he has been on.
Zim was a pretty decent Manager as well.....
Mazzone's performance as a pitching coach has been awesome. Good question, I don't know if there is a precedent...

One HOF life-time achievement award should be given to persons other than the, Head Coaches , Broadcasters and Owners for exemplifying an outstanding contribution to the values and traditions of the game.
My vote: Dick "Rowdy Richard" Bartell. Great shortstop should be in the Hall of Fame. Had 7 seasons batting over .300. Played in 3 World Series and had 2165 hits over 18 years. Managed the Sacramento Solons in 1947.
