Richardson named Astros GM as Hatton rehired manager
Judge Roy Hofheinz announced Hatton would return as Astros manager in 1968 and named H. B. Richardson as general manager in charge of the team and minor league system. Richardson will ultimately influence trades while Hatton focuses on on-field duties. The owner cited past efforts and fan support as reasons to push for better performance after a tough 1957 season start.
