Boston Red Sox and Boston Braves: 1931-1934
On August 31, 1931, the Tigers traded McManus to the Boston Red Sox for Muddy Ruel. After the 1931 campaign, he played two more seasons with the Red Sox from 1932 to 1933.
On June 19, 1932, the Red Sox—mired in last place—named McManus as the manager after Shano Collins resigned. After a decade at the bottom of the American League, the Red Sox did not fare much better under McManus. They finished in last place in 1932 and in 7th place in 1933.
McManus was released by the Red Sox at the end of the 1933 season and played the 1934 for the crosstown Boston Braves. McManus played only one year for the Braves, before being released on December 6, 1934.
McManus married Mary Barton in 1934 in South Bend, Indiana.
During the years 1944 to 1948 Marty was manager of the South Bend Blue Sox of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and did a short stint in 1947 with the Denver Bears of the Western League.
McManus died in Florissant, Missouri at age 65.

Famous quotes containing the words boston and/or red:
“If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pinewoods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
