Bob Unglaub, former major
league star, tells of an, incident
that happened during his short
reign as manager of the Boston
Red Sox.
John l. Taylor, always noted
for his eccentricities, made I'm
glaub manager under unusual
conditions. The club was with
out a manager. Several play
ers desired passes for the game,
but none cared to ask Taylor for
them. A straw vote was taken
and to Unglaub fell the lot of
getting the passes When I'm
glaub came back to, the dressing
room he gave the passes to the
bows and said: "After this when
you want passes, ask me for
them. I'm manager of the club"
UngIaub went into the office for
passes and came out as manager.
Unglaub is mild hammered, not
we'll versed in profanity, which
some managers now and then
deem valuable. His manner of
protesting decisions didn't meet
with the approval of Taylor
they were too gentle. One morn
ing John called Unglaub into
his office for a conference, told
him he would never get attention
unless he protested roughly. He
advised him to go after umpires
hammer and tongs, and assured
him the Boston club would pay
his fines.
The next day Unglaub was
chased from the game. Two

Unglaub said things that day that
he never heard before. The fol-
lowing morning Taylor received
a wire, saying Unglaub had been
fined SIS for the first offense, and
$50 and suspended for three days
for the second.
Things were going badly in
Boston and Taylor was peeved.
He called Unglaub into his office
before the game and asked him
what he said to the umpire. After
Unglaub had repeated the mono
logue Taylor replied:
