Default Research Question for Cards: George Gibson - Pit NL
Posted By: joe

Not the 1920 hire date, but 2nd stint as manager?.

September 3, 1925: After a recent incident on a train, when Cubs manager Maranville anointed various passengers from a spittoon, Chicago relieves the Rabbit of the burdens of managership. Chicago hastily appoints George Gibson, former skipper of the Pirates, as manager for the remainder of the season. The Cubs were 23–30 under Maranville, and Chicago will cut the last tie when they waive the veteran in November.
