I believe the 1954 World Series was the only one Durocher ever won as a manager. It’s ironic that a guy who was such a fixture in Dodger history never won a championship with them, but did win one while managing their hated cross-town rivals. LOL.

Durocher’s greatest regret was not being able to win a pennant for Cubs Phil Wrigley, the Cubs owner. He had a lot of respect for Wrigley (probably a first for Durocher). The Cubs seemed to be on their way to a their only pennant in 1968, but the Miracle Mets blew past them late in the season and couldn’t be caught. That really hurt, said Durocher.
