Description: As a player for 11 seasons, Johnny Oates was a favorite of managers — Earl Weaver in Baltimore, Tommy Lasorda in Los Angeles, Dick Howser in New York — and as a manager, who guided the Texas Rangers to their first playoff appearance in franchise history, Oates was favored by his players. He managed four MVPs in his 11 seasons at the helm, and finished with a 797-746 career record. As of 2010, Oates and Hall of Famer Frank Robinson were the only two men to play for, coach, and manage the Baltimore Orioles.But it was Oates’s honesty and integrity that earned him respect from those who crossed his path. Baseball executive Doug Melvin, who hired him for two managerial positions, said, “He touched a lot of people, and that’s what makes people special in this world. He always had a relationship with his players that goes beyond just a working relationship. That’s rare. Not everybody is like that, especially in a highly competitive field as this one.” This game used Hillerich & Bradsby model O50 dates from 1975 and is graded a PSA GU 9(1B27766). The ash bat measures 35.0 in and 33.3 oz. and shows outstanding use with a handle crack. A PSA LOA will accompany the bat.
