CWS Title > anything Polk did. Title trumps all. You can give Polk credit for longevity and building the program. But he was never as successful as Lemon or Cohen.

Lemon is just entering his 6th season and he has a title. He was cheated in 2020 of possibly another because that team was possibly our best of all-time. They got cheated so badly. You are comparing 29 seasons of Polk vs 5 seasons of Lemon. Polk had 6 CWS seasons in 29 seasons- Lemon has a title and 2 in 5 seasons.
