May 29, 2008 – The Washington ball club had 18 different managers between its first season in 1901 and its final season in Washington in 1960. Job security was not on your side if you were a manger for the Senators/Nationals since it appears they changed managers like teams change uniforms today. Nationals management must have had a real love/hate relationship with Bucky Harris because he served as their manager on three different occasions, the first time between 1924-1928, again between 1935-1942, and for the third and final time between 1950-1954. Harris put in more years (18) as the Nationals skipper than any other manager.
