Steinbrenner's Skippers

A remnant from the Yankees' championship teams of the early '60s, Houk (far right in photo) lasted one season under new owner George Steinbrenner, going 80-82 (fourth place) before retiring. Including Houk, the Yankees had only 11 managers in the 55 years between 1918 and 1973. That would change in a hurry under The Boss. As Johnny Carson later noted, "There are 11 million unemployed in the United States and most of them are Yankee managers."
