Timeline

2010

Inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2010.

2007

As of the 2007 season, Don Zimmer is still in uniform (#59), serving as Senior Baseball Adviser for the Tampa Devil Rays.

2003

He retired from coaching after the 2003 season, after making a public spectacle of himself during the 2003 American League Championship Series by attacking Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez during a dust-up between the two teams.

1996

He served as bench coach to New York Yankees' manager Joe Torre during the Yankees last dynasty (1996-2003).

1989

He never managed again, despite winning National League Manager of the Year honors for bringing in the Cubs first in 1989. Proudly boasting that he had never cashed a paycheck in his life that wasn't from professional baseball, Zim went back to what he did best: coaching.

1988

He managed three full seasons with the Chicago Cubs (1988-1990), actually winning the National League East in 1989, but he was given the sack during the 1991 season after only 37 games.

1980

After being unceremoniously canned in the last week of the 1980 season, Zim immediately caught on as manager of the Texas Rangers, but he was fired half-way through the 1983 season with the Rangers in sixth place.

1977

(He is the last Brooklyn Dodger to remain in a professional capacity in baseball) Zim remains one of the favorite bug-a-boos of the Red Sox Nation: Not quite in the class of Harry Frazee or Haywood Sullivan and Buddy La Roux, but reviled none-the-less for failing to beat the Yankees for the American League East pennant in the years 1977 and '78, despite having such a superb team.

1976

In an example of the Peter Principle at work ("In a hierarchically structured administration, people tend to be promoted up to their "level of incompetence"), after Red Sox manager Darrell Johnson was fired during the 1976 season, Zim was raised to the cat-bird seat.

From 1976 through the time he was fired in 1980, th great Red Sox teams he managed consistently failed to reach the post-season, despite featuring such Hall of Famers as Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Ferguson Jenkins and Dennis Eckersley, and such Hall of Fame-caliber players as Jim Rice, Dwight Evans, Fred Lynn and 'George Boomer Scott'.

1975

As third base coach of the 1975 American League champion Boston Red Sox, he had a hand in one of the greatest games every played, Game Six of the 1975 World Series (1975). He either did or didn't give second baseman Denny Doyle the greenlight to attempt to score from third on a weakly hit pop-up by Fred Lynn to short left-field. Doyle, who said that Zim shouted "Go!" (Zimemr said he had shouted "No!" was easily thrown out at the plate by George Foster, left-fielder of the Big Red Machine that was the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds eventually won the World Series in seven games. Don Zimmer gained a reputation as one of the best third base coaches ever, a field position that, arguably, is second in importance only to that of the manager himself.

1972

The career utility player became a coach after his playing days were over, eventually working his way up the greasy pole of major league managerial politics (dominated by an old boy network that generally excluded African Americans and other minorities) to become manager of the National League San Diego Padres for two season (1972 and '73).

1963

(He returned to the Dodgers again for their 1963 World's Championship season.

After writing himself into baseball history books as part of the '62 Mets, Zim was traded during the season to the defending National League Champion Cincinnati Reds, which sent him back to the Dodgers, which in turn, shipped him off to the Washington Senators, where he ended up his career from 1963-65. The career.

1962

Don Zimmer, who was called "The Gerbil" by his nemesis, Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee, was a journeyman infielder for 12 years and an original member of the New York Mets, a team which lost a still-record 120 games in its inaugural season of 1962.

1959

He played with the Dodgers through the 1959, World's Championship season, after which he was traded to the Chicago Cubs.

1955

235 hitter was a member of 1955 and 1959 World's Champion Brooklyn Dodgers teams, batting a lusty. 200 in five World Series games.

1954

Zim came up with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1954, and moved with the team to Los Angeles.

1948

Perhaps the characterization is unfair, and certainly Hall of Fame manager 'Joe McCarthy' is not similarly reviled for failing to win a pennant with the great post-war Red Sox teams (instead, he is vilified for starting Denny Galehouse instead of Mel Parnell in the 1948, pennant-deciding playoff game with the Cleveland Indians; the Red Sox lost), but memories in the Nation run deep.
