ABSTRACT:
A traditional ceremony in professional baseball is managerial replacement. Past research has examined managerial changes up to 1980 in terms of three explanations; common-sense, ritual scapegoating, and two-way causality. The current report accounts for the decade of the eighties and compares that decade to the period 1951-80. The data for the period 1981-90 are generally consistent with those for the preceding period, except that when the effects of the 14-day prereplacement slump and immediate postreplacement period are removed, the common sense explanation is more appropriate for the recent period. In addition, during the eighties there is little distinction in improvement proportions between inside and outside successions. The differences between the early and recent periods suggest that if managerial changes are disruptive, their effects are less pronounced on team performance during the most recent time period.
