Stengel ’ s success with the Oaks did not go unnoticed, and he became manager of the Yankees in 1949.

Stengel was replaced by Chuck Dressen, who led the Oaks to a second place finish in 1949 and the PCL pennant in 1950.

Again, the Oaks ’ manager ’ s success resulted in a promotion to the major leagues, with Dressen hired to manage the Dodgers in 1951.

Former New York Giant star Mel Ott was hired as his replacement.
