Lum Harris

Harris led Atlanta to the first-ever National League West Division championship in 1969 (the franchise's first postseason berth since losing the 1958 World Series as the Milwaukee Braves), but his Braves lost the National League Championship Series to the eventual world champion New York Mets.

The Astros fired Richards after the 1965 season as well, and he became the vice president for baseball operations (in effect, general manager) of the Atlanta Braves during the middle of the 1966 campaign.
