Fitzsimmons Replaces Harris as Phillies Pilot
Freddy Fitzsimmons took over as manager of the slumping Philadelphia Phillies replacing Stanley Harris who called the move shocking. The change comes as the team sits seventh in the standings on the road trip, with Fitzsimmons citing honor and belief in the club’s potential. Harris, stunned, said he had not been informed and offered no comment. Fitzsimmons, a veteran pitcher-coach, will manage as the Phillies face the St Louis Cardinals tonight after a long playing career with the Dodgers and Giants.
