JOHNNY OATES
Former Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles manager Johnny Oates died earlier today at the age of 58. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2001, just 6 months after resigning as manager of the Rangers.
Oates won three A.L. West titles (1996, 1998, 1999) during his six-year stint in Arlington (1995-2001). To this day, he is the only man to guide the Rangers to the playoffs. He also managed the Orioles from 1991-1994.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Oates family at this time.
