Stanky Confident As Sox Open 1968 Season In Baltimore
Eddie Stanky, Chicago White Sox manager, debuted in 1968 with a tense display in Baltimore as the Orioles edged the Sox 2-1. He remained surly, refused a postgame bat swing, and snapped at questions about the team’s recent 10-4 run. He dismissed reporters’ chatter and offered little to the media, signaling no change in his blunt style.
