After short stints with the Red Sox, Yankees and Braves, Watson retired as a player in 1984, and briefly worked as a hitting coach before the Astros hired him back as assistant general manager in 1988. When the New York Yankees won the World Series with him at the helm in 1996, he became the first black general manager to win a championship.
“Bob Watson was a highly accomplished figure in our National Pastime and a deeply respected colleague for those of us at Major League Baseball,” Manfred said. “I will always remember the outstanding example that Bob set for others, his years of model service to the Baseball Assistance Team and the courage with which he met his health challenges in recent years.”
