Rickey Takes Pittsburgh GM Post Aimed at Pennant Bid
Branch Rickey, 69, named general manager and executive vice president of the Pittsburgh Pirates to overhaul a last- place club. He will seek a first division berth while shedding dead wood and reshaping the roster including potential moves involving Ralph Kiner and players like Stan Rojek and Eddie Stevens. Rickey’s five-year contract includes a five-year extension. Roy Hamey remains, and Branch Rickey Jr. will hold a high role in the farm system.
