The Last Time The Red Sox Had A Bonafide Manager.....

[BigFish]

was when the 1967 Cardiac Kids lost the World Series in seven! Here is a list of managers the Sox have had dating back to #^&#^&#^&#^& Williams in 1967.

Grady Little
Joe Kerrigan
Jimy Williams
Kevin Kennedy
Butch Hobson
Joe Morgan
John McNamara
Ralph Houk
Don Zimmer
Darrell Johnson
Eddie Kasko
Eddie Popowski

Not exactly a "who's who" of great baseball managers......more like a "who the heck is he"!!!

Go back even further in history and you will see the shallow pool of managers the Sox have had over the years!!!! This is the problem here in Boston! Look at the managers the Yankees have had over the years.......Stengel, Houk (when he was a young man with balls), Billy Martin, Yogi Berra...among others....not exactly the bunch of second string, hand-me-down, look who I found to manage minor league rejects that the Sox have had over the years!!!!!!!

Now we have the venerable Terry Francona my friends......and he is not longed for this team!

For the record...at the time the Sox hired #^&#^&#^&#^& Williams...even he was a wet behind the ears, no experience manager! So who have we ever had that was truely a great manager?
