Houk Likely to Succeed Stengel as Yankee Manager
New York AP reports Ralph Houk, the Yankees’ coach for three years, is expected to replace Randy Stengel who was dismissed at age 70. Houk, a former Yankees catcher, may be introduced at a Thursday press conference. Rumors say George Weiss could resign as general manager with Dan Topping and Del Webb reshaping front office. Stengel plans to leave Oct. 31, with Weiss retained in advisory role and Roy Hamey seen as successor. Stengel expressed pride in past success but disappointment at departure and hinted interest in other opportunities. He noted managing elsewhere could come but did not decide, while awaiting final arrangements and payout from profit-sharing.
