Bucky Harris

Baseball player and manager, born in Port Jervis, New York, USA. As an outstanding second baseman for the Washington Senators, he was made a player-manager (1924) at age 27, earning him the title of ‘boy wonder’. During his 29 years as manager (1924–56), mostly with the Senators and Detroit Tigers, he won three league pennants and two world championships. He was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame in 1975.

Stanley Raymond "Bucky" Harris (November 8, 1896 - November 8, 1977) was a Major League Baseball player, manager and executive.

Harris spent most of his playing career as a second baseman with the Washington Senators (1919-28), playing two seasons with the Detroit Tigers (1929-30) before ending his playing career in 1931.

One of baseball's "boy managers", Harris both played for and managed the Senators beginning in 1924, directing the team to a World Series Championship in his rookie season and the AL pennant the following year.

After leaving the Senators initially in 1928 (he would twice return to manage them again from 1935-42 and from 1950-54), Harris managed the Tigers twice (1929-33, 1955-56), Boston Red Sox (1934), Philadelphia Phillies (briefly known as the Blue Jays, 1943), and the 1947 World Champion New York Yankees.
