| | Handbook of Texas Online: KEANE, JOHN JOSEPH |
 | | In 1964 they won the National League pennant and defeated the New York Yankees in a seven-game World Series; Keane, hailed as Manager of the Year, startled the baseball world by leaving the Cardinals immediately for the Yankees, where he replaced Yogi Berra as manager. |
 | | Keane joined the Cardinals as coach in 1959 and became manager of the team midway through the 1961 season. |
 | | His teams were plagued by injuries, however, and Keane was released in 1966, after the Yankees lost sixteen of their first twenty games. |
