Haney, also 61, resigned after the Braves lost the National League's post-season playoff with the Dodgers in two straight games. Never nn outstanding player, Dressen gained fame as a shrewd pitching and third-base coach and went on to manage the Cincinnati Reds, Brooklyn Dodgers and Washington Senators.
