Hartnett Named Cubs Manager as Grimm Is Released
Chicago owner Phil Wrigley announced late Wednesday that Leo Hartnett will manage the Cubs starting Thursday, replacing Charley Grimm who has been released. Grimm, a longtime star first baseman, led the club to a pennant but World Series losses and uneven recent results preceded the change. Hartnett, 17 years with the Cubs and MVP in 1935, becomes the club’s first new field leader since Wrigley took over.
