Pat Corrales, who managed for Cleveland before a long stint on the Atlanta Braves coaching staff under Hall of Fame skipper Bobby Cox, has died at the age of 82.
ATLANTA — Pat Corrales, who managed the Texas Rangers, Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Phillies before a long stint on the Atlanta Braves coaching staff under Hall of Fame skipper Bobby Cox, has died at the age of 82.
He did get a chance to work behind future Hall of Famer Johnny Bench with the Cincinnati Reds and made his only postseason appearance as a player in the 1970 World Series, grounding to Brooks Robinson for the final out in Baltimore's five-game victory. Corrales was fired by the Phillies in 1983, even though the team was tied for first place in the NL East. General manager Paul Owens moved to the dugout and guided the Phillies to the World Series, where they lost to the Baltimore Orioles in five games.
He was hired as the Phillies manager in 1982, going 89-73 in his only full season with the team. Corrales was let go with Philadelphia at 43-42 the following year, but he wasn't out of work for long. Corrales followed with a coaching stint in Atlanta, working on Cox's staff from 1990-2006. That tenure coincided with the Braves' rise to MLB powerhouse, which included a record 14 straight division titles and a World Series championship in 1995.
Corrales was survived by his wife of 40 years, Donna Myers Corrales of Atlanta; daughters Rena Hammerness and Patricia Collins; and son Jason Corrales. Two other children, son Patrick Corrales and daughter Michele Pollitt, had died.
