Eddie Stanky Resigns as Sox Manager Replaced by Al Lopez
Eddie Stanky stepped down as Chicago White Sox manager and was succeeded by Al Lopez, with Les Moss serving until Lopez arrives. The resignation followed a monthslong plan discussed at All-Star break meetings in Indianapolis and ends Stanky’s two-year tenure marked by a 1968 season start of 0-10 and a ninth-place finish. Lopez will manage the remainder of 1968 and the 1969 campaign, as team owner Arthur Allyn notes no rancor and says Stanky remains in the organization.
