Richards became a successful manager with the White Sox in 1951, with four winning-record seasons, but his club always finished behind the Yankees ('51, '52, '53) and Indians ('54).
Richards stocked the Houston club (soon renamed the Astros) with young players - including Joe Morgan, Jimmy Wynn, Don Wilson and Rusty Staub - but he was fired after the 1965 season when the on-field results did not match ownership's expectations.
Richards' six years at the helm of the Atlanta organization were in some ways his most successful in baseball: his 1969 Braves, skipped by his longtime protege Luman Harris, won the NL West title.
