[QUOTE=metsgeek;2266562][*]January 14 - Alfred Reed is officially named the manager of the Detroit Tigers. Reed took over for Chris Creed in the final week of the 1921 season after Creed was hit in the face with a ball during batting practice. Creed began suffering vertigo and fainting spells and relinquished the manager's job, choosing to concentrate solely on GM duties.[/COLOR]

WOnder if this could become the Wally Pipp of managerial circles.
[*]July 7 - Commissioner Landis bars ML teams from playing in Montreal.[/COLOR] (a man ahead of his time )

Yes taking out the largest city in North America not in the US from being a potential market is a smooth business move.
