"William Nathaniel "Buck" Showalter III" is an American Major League Baseball/Major League Baseball (MLB) Manager (baseball)/manager for the Baltimore Orioles. He has previously served as manager of the New York Yankees (1992–1995), Arizona Diamondbacks (1998–2000), and Texas Rangers (baseball)/Texas Rangers (2003–2006). He was formerly a professional baseball player and a television analyst for ESPN.
A three-time American League/American League (AL) Manager of the Year Award/Manager of the Year, Showalter has earned a reputation for building baseball teams into postseason contenders in short periods of time. He helped the Yankees rise from the bottom half of the American League East/AL East to first place before a 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike/players' strike prematurely ended the 1994 New York Yankees season/1994 campaign. Under his watch, the Diamondbacks made their first-ever playoff appearance in only its second year of existence. He left both professional sports league organization/franchises just prior to seasons when they won the World Series.

He had a little swelling starting there and that was a concern, but there wasn't anything he could say to stay in. We'll monitor him real closely, but I think we may have gotten real lucky. It gives you a reminder of what it takes to go out there. You're so close, and balls are flying off the bat.
They had seen him before and that's what makes it even more impressive. They obviously had a good idea what he was going to try to do.
Gerald is going to catch some games.
