He helped assemble and then managed some terrific Cards teams in the 80s. He brought in Ozzie Smith for one. RIP.

“Whiteyball”. It was back in 1958 or ‘59, things was different back then.

It’s an irony of sorts that the Texas Rangers, the awful team he first managed, are finally the champs. He was very good at Kansas City ands St. Louis. Terrific old school manager. Rest in peace, Whitey.
