On October 18, 1950 — After spending a half of a century managing in the major leagues, Connie Mack retires as manager of the A’s. The 87 year-old manager, who has the most wins and losses in the history of the game, will be replaced by Jimmy Dykes, after compiling a 3731-3948 (.486) record during his 50 years in the dugout.
Mack, together with Ben Shibe, founded the Athletics in 1901.
