Temple's Joe Kerrigan Named Boston Red Sox Manager
8.17.01 | Baseball
Former Temple pitcher and pitching coach, Joe Kerrigan, was named manager
of the Boston Red Sox following the firing of skipper Jimy Williams
yesterday (August 16th).
Kerrigan, recognized as one of the best pitching coaches in the major
leagues, agreed to a two-year contract with the struggling Sox.
"We have 43 games left," said Kerrigan who was elevated to a position that
he has never held before. "Our goal is to get into the playoffs. That's all
we're concerned about."
Kerrigan and the Red Sox got off on the right foot in his first managerial
game. Dante Bichette's three-run eighth-inning homer propelled Boston to a
6-4 win over the Seatttle Mariners at Fenway Park last night.
