Managing Career
Traynor became the Pirates player-manager during the 1934 season. He retired as an active player after the 1937 season, but continued on as the Pirates manager. He almost won another pennant as a manager in 1938, as the Pirates led the National League for most of the season before faltering to the Chicago Cubs in the famous "Homer in the Gloamin'" game at Wrigley Field. The loss of the pennant devastated Traynor. He seemed to lose confidence in his team and, after a sixth place finish in 1939, he resigned after five seasons as the manager of the Pirates.
