Bob Kennedy, who managed the A’s in their first year in Oakland in 1968, has passed away at age 84.

Kennedy is probably best known for serving stints as manager and as GM of the Cubs. He played 16 seasons in the big leagues. He was the father of former Giants and Padres catcher Terry Kennedy.

Kennedy only managed the A’s for one season, guiding a very young team to a 82-80 record, before becoming one of many managers to be let go by Charlie Finley.
