Expos fire Gene Mauch

On October 1, 1975, The Expos fire their first manager Gene Mauch and replace him with Karl Kuehl, the successful pilot of the Memphis Blues, their top farm club. During his seven-year tenure north of the border, Mauch, who will become the winningest big league manager to have never won a pennant, compiles a 499-627 (.443) record, never finishing higher than fourth place.
