The Rangers, after offering the job to Twins legend Harmon Killebrew, hire Billy Hunter as the team’s manager, making him the club’s fourth skipper in this week. Texas had replaced the fired Frank Lucchesi with Eddie Stanky, who left after one game due to homesickness, resulting in third base coach Connie Ryan, who refused to assume the position full-time, becoming the interim manager for six games.
