The Phils sign Bucky Harris as manager. It is the 4th ML club Harris has led, not counting two stints—later 3—at Washington. Clark Griffith, Rogers Hornsby, Donie Bush, and Bill McKechnie have also managed four clubs.
Harris got the Senators a World Championship in his first season (1924) and an AL pennant (1925) as a player manager. HERE is the managerial career of Harris. That stint with the Phillies lasted just 92 games.
