Century’s Showalter Earns Orioles Third Most Wins Ever As Manager
June 14, 2015
Another milestone Saturday night for Century native and Baltimore Orioles Manager Buck Showalter.
With the Orioles defeating the Yankees 9-4 for the sixth straight victor, Showalter earned his 408th win as manager of the Orioles, third-most ever behind Earl Weaver and Paul Richards.
Showalter’s family moved to Century in the late 1950’s. His father served as a teacher, coach and principal at Century High School for 23 years. Buck Showalter played Little League ball in a thriving program in Century, and he graduated from Century High School. Century’s modern day Showalter Park is named after him.
