Default T206 JACK DUNN....Babe Ruth's 1st manager

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Just to add a bit...


Dunn managed in the minors 24 years. He managed Providence in 1905 and 1906. Then Baltimore 1907 through 1914. He moved the Baltimore team to Richmond for the 1915 season, to avoid conflicts with the Federal League. With that conflict gone the following year, he moved back to Baltimore for 1916, and managed them through 1928.

His 24 year record, 2107 wins, 1530 loses, for .579. Nine pennants won in 24 seasons.

Quite a baseball man...
