They weren't to midseason, but the 1982 Brewers jumped to mind as a team that had a big time turnaround after Buck Rodgers was fired on June 1st. They started 23-24 with him, then Harvey Kuenn took over. The Brewers went 72-43 the rest of the way, ending at 95-67, losing the World Series to the Cardinals 4-3.

You failed to reference one’s exuberant neighbors in a cheap motel, the Wallbangers.

"Trader" Jack McKeon. Took over the struggling but enormously talented Marlins team in 2003. The club started the season just 16-22 under Jeff Torborg before McKeon took over on May 11. The rest, of course, was history.

The Phillies fired Pat Corrales with one game above .500 in 1983 and Paul Owens put himself in the dugout. They won the pennant that year.

The only problem is the Phillies were already tied for 1st place when Owens took over. They improved, but I wouldn't call tied for 1st to finishing 1st a dramatic improvement.
