Amid rumors that the Astros will be sold and moved to Virginia, General Manager聽Bob Watson聽resigns and takes the same position with the New York Yankees

ByTom

1995聽– Amid rumors that the Astros will be sold and moved to Virginia, General Manager聽Bob Watson聽resigns and takes the same position with the New York Yankees. His short tenure in Houston breaks the color bar for blacks in the General Manager ranks but in New York he gets the World’s Championship ring that he long coveted.聽

Former Astros GM Bob Watson is named as the Yankees’ new general manager, replacing Gene Michael. Watson, upset with the chain of command within the organization, will stay in the position for just two seasons, but under his watch the team will win its first World Series since 1978, establishing the groundwork for the very successful Bronx Bomber clubs of the late 1990’s.
