It is a manager kind of day in the highlighted entries:
1986
The Twins announce that interim manager Tom Kelly will return on a permanent basis next season.
And he would celebrate with a World Series in the Dome in 1987.
1953
The Dodgers sign the relatively unknown Walter Alston to a one-year pact as their manager for 1954.
Alston kept on signing one-year contracts to manage the Dodgers until the end of the 1976 season. End result was five World Series championships and three other NL Pennants.
1913
Joe Tinker is out as Reds manager, but is still their property as a player. On December 12th he will be sold to Brooklyn for $25,000, $10,000 of which goes to him. P Earl Yingling and OF Herbie Moran are sent to Cincinnati later as part of the deal. When Charles Ebbets puts off signing Tinker, he jumps to the Feds, signing to manage Chicago for 12,000.
That's just not a normal firing.
