"In his unprecedented 53 years as a manager, Mack won 3,731 games – a feat that is unlikely to ever be matched. He received the Bok Award for his service to Philadelphia in 1929, which was a recognition typically saved for artists and business professionals."

"Although synonymous with baseball, Mack became a legend not as a player, but as a manager and owner. Mack earned the Philadelphia Award for 1929 because of the strict code of ethics that he demanded of his players."
