The former star player sees his managerial career get impacted by his actions during his playing career.
MLB History
1952: The U.S. Standardization Board clears the way for Stan Musial to get a salary increase to $85,000. Prior to this relaxation of the rules, there was a wage freeze in effect due to the Korean War. Under the new rules, a team is free to raise individual salaries, as long as they do not exceed a complicated formula, based on total team salaries for any one year, from 1946 to 1950, plus 10 percent.
1996: Major League Baseball’s executive council approves a history-making first: interleague play for the 1997 season. The Players’ Association will also give its approval, enabling geographic rivals like New York’s Mets and Yankees, Chicago’s Cubs and White Sox, and Los Angeles’ Angels and Dodgers to play each other during the regular season.
2003: The Hall of Fame announces that Gary Carter will become the first player to wear a Montreal Expos cap on his plaque when he is inducted next July at Cooperstown. Although the former Montreal catcher had expressed his desire to go in with a Mets logo, for whom he won a Championship in 1986, the Hall of Fame makes the final decision.
2014: At their quarterly meeting, MLB owners agree to the proposed expansion of instant replay; as the Players Association and Umpires Association have also agreed to the changes, they will be effective at the start of this season. A manager will be able to challenge up to two decisions per game, and the umpiring crew can decide on its own to review a call from the 7th inning on. Almost all calls will be subject to review, except for balls and strikes, obstruction and interference.
2020: Carlos Beltran becomes the third manager to lose his job as a result of the sign-stealing scandal linked to the 2017 Astros. He is dismissed by the Mets after being the only player named in the investigation report made public by the Commissioner’s office. His firing follows that of A.J. Hinch and Alex Cora a few days earlier. Having been named to the position after the 2019 season, he never had an opportunity to actually manage a game.
2020: The Giants announce the hiring of the first female coach in major league history as Alyssa Nakken is named assistant coach on a staff numbering 13 coaches under new manager Gabe Kapler. A former softball player at Sacramento State University who was first hired by the team as an intern in 2014, Nakken will “focus [her] talents on helping to build a winning culture in the clubhouse”.
