Midseason Manager Makeovers

After performing below expectations at 16-22 and losing seven of eight games, the Marlins fired manager Jeff Torborg and hired Jack McKeon who led the team to a 75-49 record and a NL Wild Card berth. Under McKeon, the Marlins had a miraculous postseason run, defeating the Giants in the NLDS, beating the Cubs in the NLCS and eventually winning the World Series by upsetting the Yankees. At 72 years old, McKeon became the oldest manager to win a World Series and won the NL Manager of the Year award.
