Philadelphia Phillies hold a press conference to introduce Los Angeles Dodger coach Danny Ozark as the new manager.

On November 2, 1972 – The Philadelphia Phillies hold a press conference to introduce Los Angeles Dodger coach Danny Ozark as the new manager. Described as an “11th hour candidate for the job,” Ozark’s selection shocked the baseball community – particularly Dave Bristol – the expected choice. Bristol, the former Cincinnati and Milwaukee manager, would spend the 1973 season as a coach for Gene Mauch’s Montreal Expos until the end of the 1975 season. (Philadelphia Inquirer – Page 13)
