In 1924, at the age of 27, manager and second baseman Stanley
""Bucky"" Harris--aka ""The Boy Wonder""--led the Washington
Senators to their only World Series championship. His incredible
debut season at the helm of the Senators marked the beginning of
remarkable 29-year managerial career that earned him a spot in the
Baseball Hall of Fame. This detailed biography chronicles Harris's
road to the top of his sport, including his youth in the coal
mining region of eastern Pennsylvania, his brief stint in
professional basketball, his early days as a baseball player, his
1947 world championship as manager of the Yankees, and his role in
the racial integration of both the Senators and the Boston Red Sox.
By highlighting Harris' easy-going nature and intelligence, this
profile makes it perfectly clear why one player being traded to
Harris' Senators declared, ""Ask any ballplayer who he'd like to
play for and he'd say Bucky Harris.
