Herzog
(
; November 9, 1931 ? April 15, 2024) was an American
professional baseball
outfielder
and
manager
, most notable for his
Major League Baseball
(MLB) managerial career.
Herzog made his MLB debut as a player in 1956 with the
Washington Senators
. After his playing career ended in 1963, Herzog went on to perform a variety of roles in Major League Baseball, including
scout
, manager,
coach
,
general manager
, and
farm system
director.
As a scout and farm system director, Herzog helped the
New York Mets
win the 1969 World Series. As a big-league manager, he led the
Kansas City Royals
to three consecutive playoff appearances from 1976 to 1978. Hired by
Gussie Busch
in 1980 to helm the
St. Louis Cardinals
, the team made three World Series appearances, winning the
1982 World Series
over the
Milwaukee Brewers
and falling in
1985
and
1987
.
Herzog was inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame
on July 25, 2010, and was inducted into the
St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum
on August 16, 2014.
Early life
[
edit
]
Herzog was born on November 9, 1931, in
New Athens, Illinois
, to Edgar and Lietta Herzog. His father worked at a brewery and his mother at a shoe factory.
[1]
Whitey attended
New Athens High School
where he played basketball and baseball. He drew interest from the
college basketball
programs at
Saint Louis University
and
Illinois
. As a youth, Herzog
delivered newspapers
, sold baked goods from a truck, dug graves, and worked at the brewery with his father.
[2]
He was known as "Relly" ? a diminutive of Dorrel, his given first name.
[2]
His older brother Therron played a year of
minor league baseball
in 1954 in the
Cotton States League
.
[2]
[3]
Baseball career
[
edit
]
Playing career
[
edit
]
Herzog both batted and threw left-handed.
[1]
He was originally signed by the
New York Yankees
by scout
Lou Maguolo
.
[4]
While playing for the
McAlester Rockets
in the
Sooner State League
in 1949 and 1950, a sportscaster gave Herzog the nickname "Whitey" due to his light blonde hair and resemblance to blonde Yankees pitcher
Bob "The White Rat" Kuzava
,
[2]
(rather than the light blonde Yankee starter and future Hall of Famer
Whitey Ford
, then on the way to a 9?1 rookie season). In 1953, during the
Korean War
, Herzog served the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
, during which time he was stationed at
Fort Leonard Wood
in Missouri and managed the camp's baseball team.
[2]
While he was still a minor league
prospect
, the Yankees traded Herzog to the
Washington Senators
on April 2, 1956, to complete a February trade in which the Yankees had sent
Lou Berberet
,
Bob Wiesler
,
Dick Tettelbach
, and
Herb Plews
to Washington for
Mickey McDermott
.
[5]
He made his major league debut with the Senators in 1956 and played for them until May 15, 1958, when he was sold to the
Kansas City Athletics
.
[6]
Before the 1961 season, the Athletics traded Herzog and
Russ Snyder
to the
Baltimore Orioles
for
Wayne Causey
,
Jim Archer
,
Bob Boyd
,
Clint Courtney
, and
Al Pilarcik
.
[7]
After the 1962 season, the Orioles traded Herzog and
Gus Triandos
to the
Detroit Tigers
for
Dick Brown
.
[8]
Herzog retired after playing for the Tigers in the 1963 season.
[1]
In 634 games spread over eight seasons, Herzog
batted
.257 with 25
home runs
, 172
runs batted in
, 213
runs scored
, 60
doubles
, 20
triples
, and 13
stolen bases
. In reference to his relative success as a player versus being a manager, Herzog said, "Baseball has been good to me since I quit trying to play it."
[9]
Player development
[
edit
]
After his playing career ended, Herzog rejoined the Athletics for two seasons, as a
scout
in 1964
[10]
[11]
and a coach in 1965.
[1]
His next seven years were spent with the
New York Mets
, the first, in
1966
, as the third-base coach for manager
Wes Westrum
. Beginning in 1967 Herzog then made his mark with the club during his six-year tenure as its director of player development. On his watch, the Mets produced young talent that either appeared on one or both of its
1969
and
1973
World Series
teams in or were dealt and had successful major league careers elsewhere. Among this crop of players was
Gary Gentry
,
Wayne Garrett
,
Jon Matlack
,
John Milner
,
Amos Otis
, and
Ken Singleton
. Herzog was a candidate to become the Mets' manager after the death of
Gil Hodges
prior to the
1972 season
, but was passed over in favor of first-base coach
Yogi Berra
, a future Yankee Hall of Fame catcher and brief ex-Met player, by chairman of the board
M. Donald Grant
.
[12]
He had been ordered to not attend Hodges' funeral by Grant's associates to avoid speculation.
[13]
Managerial career
[
edit
]
Rangers and Angels
[
edit
]
Perceiving Grant's actions as a snub,
[12]
Herzog left the Mets to accept the first
managerial
assignment of his career. On November 2, 1972, he signed a two-year contract to lead the
Texas Rangers
, the only MLB team to have 100 losses in
1972
. Hired based on recommendations from
general manager
Joe Burke
to owner
Bob Short
, he'd been given the understanding that he was to help develop the team's young prospects.
[14]
He immediately abandoned the
platoon system
used heavily by his predecessor
Ted Williams
.
[15]
Herzog debuted with a 3?1 Rangers loss to the
Chicago White Sox
at
Arlington Stadium
on April 7, 1973. His first victory was a 4?0 triumph over the
Kansas City Royals
five nights later on April 12 at
Royals Stadium
.
[16]
He never got the chance to finish the
1973 season
. With the team at 47?91,
[16]
he was fired on September 7, three days after a home field 14?0 defeat at
Comiskey Park
.
[14]
Coach
Del Wilber
replaced him for one game, followed by
Billy Martin
, who had been fired by the
Detroit Tigers
on August 30.
[17]
Short defended the change by telling reporters, "If my mother were managing the Rangers and I had the opportunity to hire Billy Martin, I'd fire my mother."
[14]
Herzog joined the
California Angels
as their third-base coach in 1974. He was named the team's interim manager on June 27, 1974, the same day that his predecessor
Bobby Winkles
was fired and also Hall of Fame bound successor
Dick Williams
was hired.
[18]
The first game he managed was a 5–0 win for the Angels, who split a four-game weekend series against the Rangers at
Anaheim Stadium
during his brief 4-game stint.
[19]
[20]
Kansas City Royals
[
edit
]
Herzog succeeded
Jack McKeon
as manager of the
Kansas City Royals
on July 24, 1975, and managed the team from 1975 to 1979. At the time he took over in 1975, the team was in second place in the
American League West
but trailed the defending and eventual division champion
Oakland Athletics
by 11 games.
[21]
The Royals went on to win three straight
American League
Western division titles from 1976 to 1978. However, each of those seasons ended with losses to the
New York Yankees
in the
American League Championship Series
, with each one having their own particular brand of sting. In the
1976 American League Championship Series
, the two teams traded wins to see an even series by the time of the decisive Game 5 in New York. The Royals trailed by three runs in the eighth before rallying to tie the game. On the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth,
Chris Chambliss
hit a series-ending walk off home run off closer
Mark Littell
. In the 1977 series, the teams traded wins again in the first four, but the Royals had a chance to clinch it at home. Game 5 saw them lead 3?1 going into the eighth inning, but the Yankees narrowed it to a run with a pinch-hit RBI. Now going with
Dennis Leonard
(who had pitched a complete game two days earlier), it all sputtered. He allowed a hit and a walk before being pulled, but the Yankees continued to hit the ball and scored three runs in the inning before Kansas City went down in the bottom half as the Yankees went to the World Series again. In the 1978 series, the Royals won Game 2 and played competitive in Game 3, but Herzog's decision to go with
Doug Bird
in the eighth inning to face
Thurman Munson
resulted in him belting a go-ahead two-run shot as the Yankees won 6-5. The Royals scored a run in first inning of Game 4 but the Yankees led by the end of the 5th and never looked back in a 2-1 victory.
Herzog and general manager
Joe Burke
clashed during the 1979 season over personnel moves, and he openly chafed at being offered one-year contracts by owner
Ewing Kauffman
, who in turn did not like the treatment given to first baseman
John Mayberry
, whose lackadaisical play in Game 4 of the 1977 series had led to Herzog benching him for Game 5 before blaming him for the series loss and then demanding him to be traded.
[22]
After the 1979 season saw the team finish second to the California Angels, Herzog was fired, and he actually expressed criticism of Burke for not doing it sooner to try and give the team a spark during the season.
[23]
St. Louis Cardinals
[
edit
]
On June 8, 1980, Herzog was hired by
St. Louis Cardinals
(under general manager
John Claiborne
) to manage the team to replace
Ken Boyer
. Herzog was quoted almost immediately as the leader when asked, stating “I’m going to take this dang team and run it like I think it should be run. I don’t think I’ve ever had trouble with players hustling. I understand that’s been a problem here. I think you’ll see the Cardinals running out groundballs.”
[24]
He won the
1982 World Series
, and both won the
National League
pennant and appeared in the Series again in
1985
and
1987
.
Herzog's style of play, based on the strategy of attrition, was nicknamed "Whiteyball"
[25]
and concentrated on
pitching
, speed, and defense to win games rather than on home runs. Herzog's lineups generally consisted of one or more base-stealing threats at the top of the lineup, with a power threat such as
George Brett
or
Jack Clark
hitting
third or fourth
, protected by one or two productive hitters, followed by more base stealers. This tactic kept
payrolls
low, while allowing Herzog to win consistently in stadiums with deep fences and
artificial turf
, both of which were characteristics of Royals Stadium (now
Kauffman Stadium
) and
Busch Memorial Stadium
during his managerial career.
A less noticed (at the time) aspect of Herzog's offensive philosophy was his preference for patient hitters with high
on-base percentages
:
[26]
such players included Royals Brett,
Hal McRae
, and
Amos Otis
, and Cardinals Clark,
Keith Hernandez
,
Jose Oquendo
, and
Ozzie Smith
, as well as
Darrell Porter
, who played for Herzog in both Kansas City and St. Louis. However, in St. Louis, Herzog also employed free-swinging hitters who were less patient, but speedy runners and fielders, such as six-time NL
stolen base
champion
Vince Coleman
and 1985 NL MVP
Willie McGee
.
Herzog's final season with the Cardinals, and in his managerial career, was the
1990 season
; he resigned on July 6 of that year with the team at 33–47 and in last place in the NL East. He jokingly stated, "I came here in last place and I leave here in last place. I left them right where I started."
[27]
His overall Cardinals record is 822 wins and 728 losses.
[28]
General managing career
[
edit
]
With his extensive background in player development, Herzog also was a major league
general manager
with both the Cardinals (1980?82)
[29]
and the
California Angels
(1993?94).
[30]
Herzog succeeded interim skipper
Jack Krol
as manager of the Cardinals on June 9, 1980,
[31]
managed for 73 games, then moved into the club's front office as GM on August 26, turning the team over to
Red Schoendienst
. During the offseason, Herzog reclaimed the manager job, then held both the GM and field manager posts with St. Louis for almost two full seasons, during which he acquired or promoted many players who would star on the Cardinals' three World Series teams of the 1980s.
[29]
In a 1983 poll of MLB players by
The New York Times
, Herzog was voted best manager in baseball.
[32]
Herzog served as general manager of the
California Angels
from 1993 to 1994.
[33]
During his tenure, the Angels went 118?159, missing the 1993 postseason (with the 1994 playoffs cancelled due to a players' strike).
[34]
Herzog's tenure was overshadowed by a feud with owner
Jackie Autry
over the team's budget constraints, a power struggle with team Vice-President Dave O'Brien, and the loss of key free agents like
Dave Winfield
and
Wally Joyner
.
[33]
Later years
[
edit
]
Herzog expressed an interest in becoming President of the
National League
when that job opened in 1986.
[35]
The role eventually went to
Yale University
President
A. Bartlett Giamatti
, who also became the
Commissioner of baseball
in 1989. In a nationally televised interview on
NBC
, after Giamatti accepted the job of NL President,
Marv Albert
jokingly asked Herzog if he would be interested in the job opening for president of Yale University. Herzog replied, "Well, you're trying to be funny now, Marv. I don't think that's funny at all."
[36]
Both Herzog and
Jim Leyland
were candidates to become manager of the
Boston Red Sox
following the 1996 season. Both rejected offers from the Red Sox, so the team hired
Jimy Williams
instead.
[37]
Managerial record and legacy
[
edit
]
Herzog was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee on December 7, 2009, receiving 14 of a possible 16 votes.
[38]
The Cardinals retired the
jersey number
24, which he wore during his managerial tenure with the club, following his induction.
[39]
Rick Ankiel
was the last Cardinal to wear number 24.
In total, Herzog led six division winners, three pennant winners, and one
World Series
winner in compiling a 1,281?1,125 (.532) career record.

Personal life
[
edit
]
Herzog married his
high school sweetheart
, Mary Lou (
nee
Sinn
), in 1953. They had three children.
[1]
Herzog resided in
St. Louis, Missouri
. His younger brother, Codell ("Butz") died on February 20, 2010, at 76. He made out Whitey's first
lineup
with the Cardinals in 1980.
[42]
His grandson John Urick was a minor league
first baseman
and
outfielder
from 2003 until 2010 who played for managers and former Herzog-era Cardinals
Garry Templeton
and
Hal Lanier
.
[43]
[44]
In January 2014, the Cardinals announced Herzog among 22 former players and personnel to be inducted into the
St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum
for the inaugural class of
2014
.
[45]
Herzog died in St. Louis on April 15, 2024, at the age of 92.
[46]
Upon his death, Commissioner
Rob Manfred
released a statement:
Whitey Herzog was one of the most accomplished managers of his generation and a consistent winner with both 'I-70' franchises. He made a significant impact on the St. Louis Cardinals as both a manager and a general manager, with the Kansas City Royals as a manager and with the New York Mets in player development. Whitey's Cardinals' teams reached the World Series three times in the 1980s, winning the championship in 1982, by leaning on an identity of speed and defense that resonated with baseball fans across the world. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my deepest condolences to Whitey's family, his friends across the game and the fans of the Cardinals and the Royals.
