Mele to Take Vacation After Twins Firing in 1965
Sam Mele, 1965 AL Manager of the Year, says he will take a long summer vacation with his family after being fired as Minnesota Twins manager. He notes the dismissal came from owner Calvin Griffith and expresses a belief he would have finished the season and could have led a stronger team if key players had stayed healthy. Mele cites injuries to Tony Oliva and Earl Battey and the poor performance of Jim Kaat as factors in the club’s early problems.
