He added a .351 on-base percentage and a .454 slugging average for a combined .805 OPS. Managerial career Following his playing retirement, McRae managed the Royals (1991–94) and Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2001–02). He also served as hitting coach for the Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, and St. Louis Cardinals. McRae, who won a World Series ring playing for Kansas City against the Cardinals in 1985, won a ring as a coach for the Cardinals when they defeated the Detroit Tigers in the 2006 World Series, four games to one. His managing career is most memorable because of a tantrum he threw as Royals' manager early in the 1993 season while being interviewed by reporters after a Royals loss. The tantrum included throwing numerous objects around his office, and one reporter left McRae's office with a bloodied face. The tirade was captured on video and widely disseminated at the time. McRae was not fired and continued to manage after the incident.
