In his three full seasons (1939-40-41) at the helm of the Phils, the club remained locked in the National League "cellar" — losers of 106, 103 and 111 games in successive seasons.
Earl Davis Cook (December 10, 1908 – November 21, 1996) was a relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played briefly for the Detroit Tigers during the 1941 season.
Edwin Elliott Carnett (born October 21, 1916) is a former left fielder in Major League Baseball who played for three different teams between 1941 and 1945.
Late in the year, Chicago White Sox manager Jimmy Dykes announced that the promising youngster had been invited to join the White Sox team in 1941 at their Pasadena, California spring training camp.
He started the 1941 season in the minor leagues at Buffalo, but was brought back up midseason and made a big impression, batting .345 with a .400 on-base percentage and a .509 slugging percentage.
