[edit] Biographical Information

After his playing career ended, Bob Elliott was the manager of the San Diego Padres from 1955 until part way through the 1957 season and the Sacramento Solons in 1959. He then managed in the major leagues for one season with the Kansas City Athletics in 1960 and served as a coach for the expansion Los Angeles Angels in 1961.

Elliott was the cleanup hitter in the 1948 World Series for the Boston Braves. He slugged .691.
