Camp opens today for the White Sox.   Is Tony La Russa the first ever active Hall of Fame manager?

[I mean a HoFer as a manager, obviously Frank managed games after his HoF induction as I'm sure many others have].

Connie Mack was elected in 1937. He managed the Athletics from 1901-1950, and owned them from 1937 through 1950. He was a player in the Major Leagues for 11 seasons from 1886 through 1896 (including being a player-manager for 3 seasons from 1894 through 1896), but I'm pretty sure that he entered the HOF as a manager.

I love this Yasmani Grandal slash line: .121/.372/.288, good for a wRC+ of 108.  He’s basically been an excellent offensive catcher despite a .121 batting average and just 5 extra base hits.
