 | Owls in Front Office Shakeup; Smith Takes Over as GM
Monday, January 6th, 1969: When San Jose made wholesale changes in the front office after last season, fans were left wondering in which direction their favorite club would head. The hiring of Jim Smith simply led to more questions.
"I'm the new kid on the block. I know that I've got a lot to prove to you," conceded Smith. "When you take over a ballclub, you don't have an offseason. There are signings, trades, meetings, arbitration, drafting the right young players. It's a year-round job. There's a lot of positives here. We're going to try to build on those and field the best team we can."
