	Giants make 'painful' decision, won't renew Felipe Alou's contract
		Alou could not be reached immediately for comment, but he issued a two-paragraph statement in which he said, "Even though I will not be the Giants' manager next year, I will always be a Giant.
		Alou said he is not sure what he wants to do but insisted he is not going to retire.
		Also, although he didn't say so directly, Alou was not always happy with the collection of players he was given, particularly those past their prime, with a mandate to reach the playoffs.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Alou named Giants manager, receives three-year deal
		Alou was hired Wednesday to manage the National League champion San Francisco Giants, returning to the team he played for in the 1950s and '60s.
		Alou was fired by the Expos during the 2001 season, and was with the Tigers this year.
		Alou has the challenge of dealing with Barry Bonds, whose dugout shoving match with second baseman Jeff Kent -- a free agent not expected to return to the Giants -- was a low point in the team's successful year.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports -- Giants extend Felipe Alou's contract through 2006
		Alou, who took over the team from Dusty Baker after the 2002 season, is one of only three managers in franchise history to win at least 90 games in his first two years.
		Alou's son, Moises, is an outfielder for the team who has a player option for the 2006 season and Felipe talked in spring training about wanting to stay with the team as long as his son did.
		Alou's 191 wins in his first two seasons were the most for any Giants' skipper and only Bill Terry (1933-34) and Herman Franks (1965-66) won at least 90 games in their first two seasons with the team.

	Felipe Alou a true man of baseball
		Giants fans never seemed to warm up to Alou, who was usually ridiculed in letters and e-mail for being out of touch, too old, for making ridiculous bullpen moves and all by himself being responsible for the team's inability to reach the playoffs the last three years.
		Alou was the second Dominican Republic native to play in the Major Leagues -- Ozzie Virgil, who grew up in New York, was the first -- but he came directly from the island into a new, sometimes nasty environment.
		Alou would tell of Christmases in Haina when he'd get five cents for a present, or perhaps a small comb, nothing more, but still revel in the memories of a proud family's religious traditions.

	The Ballplayers - Felipe Alou \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Alou found work as a batting coach and minor league manager with the Montreal Expos after his playing career ended, jobs which eventually led to his hiring as the club’s manager in 1992.
		Montreal's poor finishes never tarnished Alou's sterling reputation as a manager; in fact, after the 1998 season he was offered a contract worth nearly $1 million a season to manage the Los Angeles Dodgers.
		Yet Alou, who had many close ties to the city (his wife was a native of Quebec) insisted his decision to stay with the Expos was based as much on intangibles as dollars.

	No. 17: Felipe Alou - Braves Journal
		Alou’s raw numbers don’t look the equal of the last few guys ranked behind him, but that’s largely due to context; his Atlanta tenure, which includes his two best years, was in the midst of the most pitcher-friendly era since the First World War.
		Alou came up with the Giants in 1958 just as they were putting together the greatest collection of offensive talent in baseball history (I mean, Willie McCovey spent a couple of years as the fourth outfielder!) and managing to not do anything much with it.
		Alou was traded to the Braves after the 1963 season, along with Ed Bailey, for a package of Del Crandall, Bob Shaw, and Bob Hendley, all of whom were pretty much done.

	Hall of Fame should embrace Felipe Alou Petition
		Alou abandoned his plan of becoming a doctor after helping the D.R. win the gold medal in the 1955 Pan American Games, where he also was part of his country's track and field team.
		Alou was Manager of the Year with Montreal in the strike-shortened year of 1994, and his Expos were a great producer of young talent that flourished under his leadership.
		Alou's next stop, based on merit and a fair judging of his contribution to baseball, should be the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

	Felipe Alou
		Felipe Alou … My Life in Baseball by Felipe Alou and Herm Weiskopf is an unintentionally funny example of a ghost written jock autobiography.
		Given his intellectually-impaired background, Alou did pretty well just to discover that priests ain’t the Word of God, but didn’t flip out enough to discover that the Christian Bible might not be the one and only Word of God either.
		The book was ghost written in 1967 (after Alou’s best season), so it covers his childhood, life in the minors as a young Latino, his years with the San Francisco Giants, then being traded to the Braves as they moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta.

		Felipe, a recognized power hitter and All Star, was traded to the Braves in the winter of '63.
		He was a Brave until 1969 and had some of his finest seasons with them, especially 1966, when he hit a career best.327, led the NL in at bats, runs, and hits (218), while smacking 34 homers and driving in 74.
		A typical Alou team is made up of some excellent veterans waiting for free agency so they can leave; several talented youngsters fresh out of the Montreal farm system, and some marginal players from other franchises who blossom under Alou.
