I can think of three managers who weren't fired. John McGraw of the Giants who was sick and resigned; Miller Huggins of the Yankees, who died on the job; and Connie Mack of the Athletics, who owned the club.

Red Smith On Baseball - Ivan R. Dee
Contributed by: Jane Richard
It looked like a low line drive streaking over the infieled, but it was still climbing when it clipped the very peak of the roofed upper deck in left and took off for the clouds. Three days later a small boy in Bustleton, on the northeast fringe of town, found a baseball with snow on it.

For some of us, baseball has meant the pleasantest way of making a living that man has discovered. I loved it so, especially in the days before air travel and before night games when baseball was such a leisurely entertainment and covering it such a leisurely occupation. I loved every moment of it, even the weeks of hit and run barnstorming tours home from training camp when, for two weeks or so, home was an open Pullman berth. I'm happy to have had a chance to be a baseball writer, and right now....I'd rather be a moose or a salmon, because when they're stuffed and mounted, they're dead and it doesn't make them so nervous.
