Nine Years Nine Managers Finley Fires Bauer
Athletics owner Charles C. Finley dismissed Hank Bauer after a nine year span of managers. John McNamara, Sacramento native and former farm system coach, signed for a one year term to lead through 1970 as the team faced Twins in AL West battles. Finley stated the move was his alone and noted Bauer declined a longer deal. The shakeup comes as Oakland eyes a push to restore form in a season marked by struggles with Minnesota.
