Jackie Moore (baseball)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jackie Spencer Moore (born February 19, 1939 in Jay, Florida) is the manager of the Round Rock Express of the Pacific Coast League and a former (1984-86) pilot of the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball.
Although he had a very brief career as a major league player—he batted only .094 in 53 at bats as a catcher for the 1965 Detroit Tigers—Moore spent almost 30 years at the MLB level as a coach with the Athletics, Boston Red Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, Montréal Expos, Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies. He was promoted to manager of the Athletics on May 24, 1984, succeeding Steve Boros. He managed Oakland for 353 games—the balance of 1984, all of 1985, and 73 games into 1986—before he was fired in favor of Tony La Russa on June 26, 1986. His career managing record was 163-190 (.462).
Since 2000, Moore has been the field boss of the Round Rock Express, a farm team of the Houston Astros in the AA Texas League (2000-04) and the AAA PCL (2005- ).
