MLB Trivia, Uh-oh Buck edition: Only twice in the last 70 years has a MLB season completed with no mid-season managerial changes. Name those years.

One moose point each.

HINT: At the end of both those years, Buck Showalter was fired by a team.

Responses:

I wonder if Mills just came to the end of his rope and the team fired him instead of having him quit. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 09:27
2000 and 1994? - Will Hunting Aug 20, 09:24
1995? -- nm - Skyscraper builders si Aug 20, 09:04 5
- Nope. (nm) - musubi Aug 20, 09:08 3
  - Then, 2000? -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 09:10 2
    - *ding* One moose point for Krusty/skyscraper builders everywhere. (nm) - musubi Aug 20, 09:16 1
      - I was out of years Buck got fired. I know he was let go by Texas in the mid 2ks but I don't remember the year. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 09:18
- *sfan* -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 09:04
I don't know but firing Mills was ridiculous. He has a AAA team (at best). What did he expect? -- nm - spamlet Aug 20, 09:04 8
- Ha. I missed the news of his sacking. Buck's job no longer in jeopardy! (nm) - musubi Aug 20, 09:07
- All I know is that it appears it was a good thing for Showalter and the O's. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 20, 09:07
- Yup. They should fire the GM for building that team. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 09:06 5
  - They already did. (nm) - musubi Aug 20, 09:08 4
    - I missed that. Still makes no sense to fire the manager too. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 09:10 3
      - it all depends if it looks like the players have given up. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:11 2
        
        It sucks, but Mills had to have taken the job knowing that he'd likely be a scapegoat at some point. Not *this* early, but at some point. (nm) - musubi Aug 20, 09:17 1
        
        managers on rebuilding teams generally do not last long. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:18
2005. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:03 1
- Nope. (nm) - musubi Aug 20, 09:05
