Chicago White Sox hire Kid Gleason as their manager

On December 31, 1918, the Chicago White Sox hire Kid Gleason as their manager. Gleason replaces Pants Rowland, who was fired after the Sox finished in fifth place. Gleason will win the American League pennant as a rookie skipper, but it will be tarnished by the improprieties of eight members of the so-called “Black Sox” in the 1919 World Series.
