Two years before their first opening day, Colangelo hired Buck Showalter, the American League Manager of the Year in 1994 with the New York Yankees.

He also brought in Buck Showalter coming off a successful stint as manager of the New York Yankees.

Because of the season-ending 1994-95 MLBPA strike where the season was abandoned without official league champions, the game featured the " unofficial " league champions, the managers of the clubs leading their respective leagues ' won-loss records, Buck Showalter of the New York Yankees and Felipe Alou of the Montreal Expos for the All-Star Game.

After the 1994 – 95 Major League Baseball strike cut the season short and cancelled the post-season, the BBWAA writers named the managers of the Yankees ( Buck Showalter ) and Montréal Expos ( Felipe Alou ), who led the leagues in winning percentage, Managers of the Year.

When reacting to the strike's cancellation of the season, the first words many people on the Yankees, including Owner George Steinbrenner, General Manager Gene Michael, and Manager Buck Showalter all said was that they all felt bad for Mattingly, saying that he deserved a postseason.

The 1994 strike contributed to both Mattingly's retirement and Showalter being fired as manager of the Yankees.

Mattingly suffered from various injuries and, coupled with the strike, his career ended after the 1995 season, which saw the Yankees make the playoffs only to lose to the Seattle Mariners in the 1995 playoffs, which got Showalter fired.

The Associated Press writers, at the end of the aborted season, chose to name " unofficial " champions when naming their Managers of the Year as Felipe Alou ( Expos ) and Buck Showalter ( Yankees ), who were leading when the season abruptly ended.

Showalter never played in the majors with the Yankees in part because he played first base, the same position as Don Mattingly.

Showalter was hired as manager of the Single-A minor league Oneonta Yankees of the New York-Penn League in 1985, leading them to 114 victories in two seasons.

By 1989, Showalter was with the Double-A Albany-Colonie Yankees of the Eastern League, where he was named Minor League Manager of the Year.

In 1990 Showalter was promoted to the coaching staff of the New York Yankees, and eventually succeeded Stump Merrill as the team's manager for the 1992 season.

The Yankees won the AL wild card in 1995, participating in the playoffs for the first time since 1981, but Showalter was fired by the Yankees after the 1995 season because of the loss in the playoffs and other fallouts from the strike.

However, Showalter couldn't watch the Yankees win the World Series, saying that " I feel badly for the fans " in New York for what they lost during the 1994 strike.

In his first season with the Rangers, Showalter managed the team to a 71 – 91 record – again in last place ; but following the high-profile, off-season trade which sent Alex Rodriguez to the Yankees, Showalter's Rangers jumped out to an early-season record of 17 – 9 by early May of the 2004 season.

Buck Showalter, who was the Yankees manager in 1994 and fired as a result of the fallouts from the strike, could not watch the World Series because of how he felt in 1994 when the strike ended the Yankees championship hopes.
