Southern legend Rickie Weeks made his surprise managerial debut with the Brewers — and won

Weeks spent 14 seasons in the majors, 11 of them with the Brewers, who drafted him No. 2 overall in 2003. Weeks retired after the 2017 season and was hired by his old team, the Brewers, two years ago as an assistant to the player development staff. Before this season, the Brewers named Weeks their associate manager on Murphy's staff. Weeks made history in 2003 when he became the first player from a historically Black college to win the Golden Spikes Award, given to the best player in the nation.
