1975 Managers
Name the two managers hired at about the same time in mid-season by the Yankees and Royals, and also the managers they replaced.

I know Martin replaced Bill Virdon - - I was there for Billy's first game at Shea.
I'll guess on the Royals - - McKeon and Whitey?

Am I right?  I swear, my mind is so full of basbeall junk - and on questions like this, I just try and sort through it and find the answer - - - like looking for car keys in your house, when they are lost - - you know they have to be SOMEWHERE, it's just finding it.It was Whitey and Jack?

Indeed it was!
I just thought it was cool that Whitey and Billy were hired within days of each other, Martin just after being fired by the Rangers. |

In 1975, the White Rat managed 66 games (41-25) and Martin managed 56 (30-26). After mid-season so I guess around August they were hired?
Anyway, check out this Billy Martin link. |

Billy's first game as NY MGR was Old Timer's Day 1975 - - I was there - just remembered it was really hot - - probably late July early August.

Hey Steve, I was at that game also. It was my son first ML
game. Was stuck in traffic on the Deegan and it was hot, my boy kept saying I want to go home. He was three and first time in the big city. He was a big Reggie fan back then.

My parents was not like that, I remember those long car
rides in the country side on a beautiful day. But those long walks home in the dark was a bitch.
