Crosby hired as A's manager
Rookie manager replaces veteran Howe
September 16, 1998
KANSAS CITY - Just three hours before game time, the Oakland Athletics announced Daryl Crosby would be the club's new manager.
Crosby, 42, has spent the last two seasons managing in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. As a minor league manager, Crosby owns a 128-112 record and led the Youngstown Fire, St. Louis's AA affiliate, to a division title last year.
The A's surprisingly signed Crosby to a five-year contract for his first big league managerial job.
