Pat Corrales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patrick Corrales (born March 20, 1941 in Los Angeles, California), is a former catcher and manager in Major League Baseball who played from 1964-1973, primarily for the Cincinnati Reds, but also for the Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres. Corrales spent nine years as a major league manager and finished with an overall record of 572-634^{[citation needed]} with the Texas Rangers, Phillies and Cleveland Indians. Corrales managed in both the National League and American League, and became only the fourth manager to manage in both leagues in the same season. He is the only manager ever to be fired while in first place. The Philadelphia Phillies fired him in 1983 while they were in first place and was replaced by Paul Owens. Since he retired from managing he has had a long career as a bench coach. He acted in that role for nine years with the Atlanta Braves, and he has been hired to be the bench coach for the Washington Nationals in 2007.
