Goodbye, Jimmy...hello, Bill

Boston Globe, December 14, 1922

JIMMY COLLINS RETIRING
Bill Carrigan To Take Reins Of Red Sox

BOSTON--The case can be made that Jimmy Collins is the most successful manager in the history of baseball. Eight pennants and seven World Series titles give him a record that no pilot can equal.

Yesterday, Collins announced that his successful run has reached its end, with his retirement from the Red Sox managerial post. "I have had a great career here, but it's time for me to move on," Collins said simply.

The Red Sox announced that Bill Carrigan, who managed the Providence club this past season and has retired from active play, will be their manager for the 1923 season.
