Making a change (1930)

Judge Fuchs' decided to make a change in the manager position. He selected Bill McKechnie as the Braves manager in 1930. He had a pretty good track record. In Pittsburgh he won the World Series in 1925. In St. Louis he won the pennant in 1928. After he left Boston he won a World Series for Cincinnati in 1940.

In 1930 the Braves finished 6th, 22 games behind the leader. Their record was 70-84. It wouldn't get much better during his eight years in Boston.
