Baseball All-star game question.

[MrDingleDangle]

Is this the first time one of the managers is currently not the manager of the team that went to World Series the previous year?

It cant be
Dick Williams quit after winning the world series with the A's back in the day (1973)

In 1973 DIck Willimas won the world seies with the A's
In 1974 he managed the California Angels

So I think he qualifies

Dick Williams managed the 1974 All Star game while with the Angels after going to the World Series with the A's the previous year

But when Dick Williams quit, the next A's Manager Alvin Dark was the manager. This is different
Cubs Manager even though SF won. Not sure if thats ever happened before,
but in 1995 the managers were based on the best record from each league prior to the strike.
