Fox caught only three games for the Giants but began managing in their farm system at Class-D level and worked his way up to Triple-A. He served as a scout for the Giants and ML coach before replacing Clyde King as Giants manager early in the 1970 season. He led San Francisco to the Western Division championship the next year and was voted TSN’s ML Manager of the Year. A traditionalist with a fiery temper, Fox was later both GM and interim manager of the Expos and interim manager of the Cubs.
