Former Phillies manager Pat Corrales passed away yesterday at the age of 82. Fans of a certain age remember Corrales as a coach with the Atlanta Braves, but we here know he was the manager who was fired to kickstart the 1983 Phillies on a run at the World Series. Paul Owens fired Corrales, then became manager himself, leading the team to the pennant.
Rest easy, Pat.
