That was Johnny Keane who managed the 1964 Cardinals against the Yankees in the World Series. Keene lasted one season (1965) and 20 games into the second season (1966) with the Yankees before being replaced by Houk.

What year did the New York Yankees offer a one year contract to Yogi Berra to manage the Yankees?
Yogi managed the Yankees in 1964 and from 1984-85 and the Mets from 1972-1975. After Yogi played his last game in the 1963 World Series, the Yankees hired him as their manager. However, after an incident in August involving Phil Linz playing the harmonica after a loss, Berra was fired following their loss in the 64 World Series to the Cardinals. Berra was named Yankee manager before the 1984 season. Berra agreed to stay in the job for 1985 after receiving assurances that he would not be fired, but the impatient Steinbrenner did fire Berra after the 16th game of the season. Instead of firing him personally, Steinbrenner dispatched Clyde King to deliver the news for him. This caused a rift between the two men that was not mended for almost 15 years.

Why did Yogi Berra get fired from the New York Yankees?
Berra was hired by the Yankees as their manager after his playing career ended with the 1963 World Series. In August 1964, there was an incident on the team's bus after a loss when infielder Phil Linz played his harmonica. Berra ordered him to stop but, being seated on the other side of the bus Linz couldn't hear him and Mickey Mantle told Linz that Berra said to play louder. Linz did so and Berra slapped the harmonica out of his hands. All was forgotten and the Yankees rode a September surge to go to the World Series, but they lost to the Cardinals in seven games. Berra was fired. It was later learned that GM Ralph Houk was ready to fire Berra midseason, since he had no control over the team. Berra returned to the Yankees to manage the 1984 season, agreeing to staying for the 1985 season after being assured he wouldn't be fired. The impatient Steinbrenner did fire Berra, though, after the 16th game of the season
