Re: Predict Shelton's firing date thread
Hopefully Matt Hague can help some of the Pirates young hitters like Henry Davis. I think he is important for the future of the franchise.
Re: Predict Shelton's firing date thread
I can dream about Shelton being replaced, but in 1960 the Phillies lost their opening day game after which manager Eddie Sawyer resigned. He was quoted as saying, “I’m 49 years old, and I want to live to be 50.” He never managed again and lived to be 87 so apparently he knew what he was doing.

Good story. Had he hung around until the 1964 season, he’d have probably jumped off a bridge in the final week of that season.Bobster wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 11:38 pm I can dream about Shelton being replaced, but in 1960 the Phillies lost their opening day game after which manager Eddie Sawyer resigned.
